<human>:  What is the optimal time to plant a flowering tree?
<bot>: The optimal time to plant a flowering tree depends on the type of tree, as well as the climate and region in which it is being planted. Generally speaking, most flowering trees need to be planted in the spring, when the soil is warmer, or late in the fall, when the soil is still warm enough to allow the root system to develop. Plants should also be planted when rain is more likely, as this will make it much easier for the plant to get enough water to begin growing properly.
