Hey Matt, it has less to do with the time of year and more to do with the stage of foliage development. For instance, if you winter your trees in an unheated greenhouse, they may start to push buds in early to mid February...by March, it would probably be too far along. On the other hand, unusually cool spring weather may slow things down by several weeks, giving you more time to work the roots. Bottom line, the window of opportunity to perform meaningful root work is before leaves have formed. Hope this helps,
