Good Afternoon,
I’m in Toledo, Ohio and it’s definitely winter outside. I have a half-dozen small oaks, 3′ to 5′ tall in my front yard. I’d like to dig them now and transplant them where I want them in the back yard. Can I get away with doing this right now, during winter?
Thomas, As long as the ground is not frozen you can. Just don’t leave them out of the ground for long. Dig them and plant them right away, the roots cannot be exposed to freezing air.
