I've never posted here, as I do not have a green thumb (I swear I have a black thumb and can kill anything!) DH and I set a mini-home on a sub-lot next to my parents home a couple years ago. It used to be part of my father's airstrip so is very VERY flat. The back of our house is north facing with no building/trees to block the fairly strong winds we get (we're surrounded by potato fields and on top of a hill). So DH and I would like to plant some trees to create a windbreak and also give us some privacy from the potato house next door.
What I was wondering is when is the best time of year to plant/transplant trees (I'm in Eastern Canada)? What kinds of trees would be best? We have access to lots of softwood forest on our property so can get some spuce seedlings from there (or cedar and maybe pine, not sure) and would like some fruit bearing trees closer to our house (thinking apple and cherry for sure).
TIA!
