In the San Francisco Bay Area, fall is not the best time to plant
stone fruit trees. Winter is the best time because you can purchase
bare root stock which is much cheaper than a balled root tree, and
will establish itself better.

We don't have snow and frozen ground. Life is a little different than
in Ohio.
