Default OK to transplant 5gal Peach Tree??

Yes, and I notice many commercial plantings with lots of dead trees.
These
people are either ignorant or probably feel they will not be around
the
next
season when the trees die. Transplanting a tree is very stressful to
the
plant,
and combining that with hot weather is not really a good idea.

Well Sherwin, I hate to burst your bubble, but there are many professional
landscapers that do over 50 million in business per year.

Trees must be taken care of, if some developer is involved, you can bet
they're not buying premium to begin with. Probably buying park grade, and
has some jack leg installation. I concur there are many of these people
around, but my dealings are with professional people.

I know professionals will disagree with your thoughts of planting in hot
weather, I guess that's why they're the professionals.
