June 1st is just an arbitrary time, meaning that after that the tree will
require extra watering and care to carry it through the hot summer months.
Here in SC, that date is usually set as April 1st. However, if you're like
most gardeners, you plant and transplant when you have the time, regardless
of what the calendar says. Some plants may resent it a little and some not
at all, if you give it extra care for playing fast and loose with the
seasons.

om...
i was told that its not good to plant or transplant new tree later
than june 1st. is this a true statement? i have some trees left to
transplant that i bought and im worried that i may be too late to get
them in the ground. is there a cut off for when to plant and
transplant trees?

thanks
