They are *OK*. Yes, Fall is the best time to plant trees, but if you are in zone 5 or north, it is getting kind of late to be planting trees
- October was best.
You might be better off looking for a real, full time nursery. You might be able to find a tree that has a larger trunk, and one that will get established and start bearing fruit much faster.
[snip Sherwin's rant] Sherwin, Sherwin, Sherwin... Did you not looking at the trail of names above? Or are you such a prick that you allow reading comprehension to get in your way? Here, let me post only the name I was pointing out and then highlight the difference so you won't be so quick to jump up and down and wave your arms about next time.
I was responding to gardengal in *her* message (message id: ) who responded to Sheldon Katz (aka "brooklyn1," "Penmart01," "Penmart10," and "Sheldumb") in message id : .
But don't believe me. Go back and look up the thread, see it with your own eyes.
So, please, follow your own advice "dummy."

In the San Francisco Bay Area, fall is not the best time to plant stone fruit trees. Winter is the best time because you can purchase bare root stock which is much cheaper than a balled root tree, and will establish itself better.
We don't have snow and frozen ground. Life is a little different than in Ohio.

OK Ranger. Sorry for the mixup, but I have seen my name twisted up before on this group. I also did not know that brooklyn1 is really Sheldon Katz. He is an idiot, first class.
Apologies,
Sherwin
