A: We suggest you select smaller ones that appear to be healthy to give them the best chance to survive. Be sure to get as much of the root ball as possible. Tip: Use permanent marker to mark the north side of the tree and replant facing the same direction to prevent sun scald. Best time to transplant will be in the late fall and very early spring. No need to amend the soil
