Todd-

I used to work as an aborist (8 years).  Winter was our main planting time.
 The trees are dormant and they get to wake up in the cool of spring and
establish themselves some before the heat and drought of summer.

You still have to be sure they get a regular supply of water for at least a
year.  Drought probably does in more new plantings than anything.
