Hi all! I'm new to this perennial stuff and was wondering what y'all think the best time to plant bare root trees and shrubs is/what your experiences have been in spring vs fall?

If the trees have been grown locally to you, spring through fall has never proven a problem for me.  Most shrubs are tolerant enough for the same.  Summer is just hard to keep them wet enough before roots are established outside of the potting soil.
 
And then the flying monkeys attacked. My only defense was this tiny ad:
