Most of the time, at least in the U.S. you should plant trees in the spring or early fall. Many young trees have far too fragile of root systems to plant them in the winter. Some you shouldn’t even plant in the fall because they won’t establish by winter. Some trees however, are hardy enough to plant anytime, like the Red Flowering Dogwood. The Red Dogwood is not quite so winter hardy as it’s white flowered peer but still manages.

I love this tree because it offers color all year; not simply in the spring and summer. Plus, since it only grows to around 25 feet you can plant it, even in small spaces or right by your home.
