Is it too late to plant a tree?

I know a good rule of thumb is to move them in early Spring. This is a loquat tree, maybe 8 feet tall with a base of 3" or so. Maybe 2.5. It's been growing really well so I'm tempted to leave it be, but it would be nice to get it planted and done.

Thanks in advance.

I may be wrong, but I believe October is the best month for planting trees.

Wait until fall/winter when the tree is dormant. Do it while it's cool & not windy & don't expose roots to any sub-freezing temperatures.
Planting in the spring or summer can be done with success, but will require much more attention on your part.
