Have I left it too late to plant shrubs and small trees?

I have a fast-becoming-pot-bound apple tree and a couple of shrubs I want
to
move from front to back garden.

I've been told that autumn and spring are the correct times of year but
The
Great Titch and Charlie Dimmock seem to chuck em in regardless of time of
year.

Bear in mind that when footage is televised it may be up to 18 months old,
they work that far ahead in some cases. I would say that if the tree is
potbound it will be grateful for planting out regardless of the time of
year. In the case of shrubs, I would say that in the absence of specific
instructions, just after flowering would be the most logical time to do it,
this gives it the maximum settling-in time before next flowering.
