When is the best time to move conifers?
Moving An Established Conifer.
If you need to relocate a conifer for whatever reason,the best times to do so are early fall and mid spring(April).
of the conifer, Make a vertical slit with a spade all the way round the conifer, about 18" from the trunk. Carefully lever the tree out, keeping the rootball intact.

If the conifer is quite tall, it is a good idea to stake it for the first year until it regrows anchoring new roots.
Water the transplanted tree during the first spring and summer, during dry spells.
