suggest you are not posting from the UK. It is helpful to make this
explicit when posting to a group about gardening in the UK because our
conditions here may be different, and advice which is appropriate for
you may not be appropriate here.

I have done landscape and pruning work for people from the UK. They said our climate has many similarities. Our area has a dryer summer, but here, where you are at, plus Canada, Ireland, France, Germany, etc., experience the major root growth of the year in fall and early winter.

time, as it means that the retailler takes the risk of it dying rather
