I live in central New Jersey (zone 7) and I started maple and oak trees from seed in April. Now they are about 14 to 16 inches tall and I'm wondering when I can plant them into my backyard. Some sources say fall, some say early spring. Since I'm new to planting trees, I'm just not sure when the best time is.

Since you are in New Jersey it might be wise to wait till Spring when danger of frost is passed. When I was living in a rented town home in TN, I let the seeds which blew into my flower beds grow and as people bought houses. I gave them little maple trees in pots to be planted in fall or spring, whichever came first. Maple trees are truly magnificent in autumn. Thank you for keeping them.
