Yo Hoss! Best time to plant the deciduous trees is this time of year. Definitely get a new one into the ground before it starts to show spring leaf growth.
 
Hey, 65Hoss -

Here in coastal California, now is the time to plant -- takes advantage of Mother Nature watering it in and gets root growth started.

Can't imagine it would be too different for you in "midsouth" -- I am USDA zone 9 - you might be a little colder.

Will you be doing bare root? Then now makes good sense if this is bare root time in your area.

If from container, then more latitude (but I still prefer it while it's dormant, cool, damp, ....).
 
Autumn is my favorite season to plant.

Also in summer, don't pull the tree of the end of a nursery row on the sunset side if the trunk is unprotected.

Now is okay. If they can live in the nursery, can't be worse in the ground where you need it.
