Spring is the best time to dig. Apart from cutting off the unwanted branches etc, any work should then be left at least a year. The tree needs to be well settled in and growing healthily before you try any styling and training.

The advice from Kev Bailey is correct. What kind of tree are you thinking of? If you can get out in your collecting area now, you can pick trees & do some pruning before you dig them up next spring.
