'Now' is definitely the best time to plant trees .. and shrubs, and pretty much most other plants .. Jeapsey. They can all be planted in early spring too, but I find that you end up having to keep too much of an eye on them in case they dry out. Planting at this time of year, while there is still a bit of warmth left in the soil, means they have the whole of the winter to settle in and start putting out roots without the need for constant watering. Don't leave it until it gets too far into winter though, otherwise they might lie dormant in cold, soggy soil!
