    I have a very small apple tree that needs to be moved (its currently only about 6' and very skinny.
    Should I move it now or in spring?
    Thanks

    I'd wait until all the leaves have fallen and it's dormant.
    If you move it in the spring you might set it back more than say moving it in November.
    We did this with an acer about eight feet tall and it was OK.

    I would, but others with more gardening knowledge may have different ideas.
