Why wouldn't you transplant in Spring? And in Coastal NH the first frost is
around mid October and the ground is frozen solid by Jan 1 (or before). Is
that enough time for the tree to set new roots?

Thanks again.

When you transplant a tree in the spring, it has to produce new
roots and new leaves at the same time. OTOH, if you transplant
it in the fall, it can spend it's time making lots of healthy new
roots. And, yes, the 2-1/2 months between frost and freeze
should be plent of time for this to happen.
