When is a good time of year to plant sawtooth oaks and chestnut trees?

What I'm thinking. I googled it, it said to plant fruit trees in the fall? Figured I'd ask the experts before I wasted time and $.

I think you're technically supposed to plant them when they're dormant.....especially when transplanting bare root seedlings....approx November through early March.....

I planted 6 Chestnut trees in December while the sap was down. They are looking great now and all have buds. What kind of Chestnuts did you buy?

How long does it take bare root trees to start showing new growth? I planted 20+ trees at my place in Al and one here at the house the last weekend of February. The one here looks just like I'd did when I planted it. Haven't been back to check on the ones up there yet.

Planted 250 4ft talk ones 6 years ago. Just now starting to drop. Dang tree protectors cost more than the trees but if they weren't installed bucks would have killed a bunch of them. Half sawtooth and half gobbler sawtooth. Make your own stakes.

I made stakes and cages from some old fence I had, but how long before I know if they made it?

The one here looks just like I'd did when I planted it. Haven't been back to check on the ones up there yet. Ive noticed some of the bare root trees are slower to take off than the potted ones Ive planted. Some as long as a month or longer before showing any buds or leaves.

No use in worrying, it is what it is. If the one at the house that I water every couple days didnt take, then I wander what the ones I planted and left in Al look like? Dont think I'll do bare root again. The ones in dirt I bought from Mossy Oak showed growth in less than a week and were just a little more. The only reason I went with these is MO was sold out of Sawtooths when I decided to order. I will try again next year and plan better.

There's nothing wrong with bare root seedlings.....The issue is likely with how they were handled during the transplanting process either by the nursery or yourself. Did the roots stay moist the entire time they were out of the ground or did they dry out? Did they get planted properly in well dug holes.....at the proper depth..... with the dirt packed firmly around the roots?

When they got here, they only had about a handful of the gell stuff in them and the roots were wrapped farely loosely in plastic. I planted one that day, wrapped the roots from the rest in an old damp towel and put them in a walk in feed cooler @ work (55*).
I probably should have read up on how to plant them, as I am no gardener. I dug a hole a 2 or 3 times the size of the roots. Put soft dirt back in the hole until the top of the roots were just under the top of the hole and filled in with soft dirt. I made a point to make sure the roots didn't turn up as I've heard of that killing pine seedlings. I watered with probably just less than a quart of water. I put down some mulch to hold in moisture and have watered them every few days. For future reference, anything I should have done different?
The wood, even at the top, still is green when I barely scratch it with my fingernail. I'm holding out hope.
I'm sure there's nothing wrong with bare root trees, it's just the one I planted from mossy oak had leaves growing more within a few days. I think I played just over a dollar more a piece for them.
