When is the best time to get a good price on fruit trees? Does that coincide with a good time to plant fruit trees?
I had a friend grow a peach tree from a stone is that a good Idea?

The best time to plant is late winter/early spring when things are still dormant. This is not, however, the time you find the cheapest prices. Most places will start to discount their trees later in spring in hopes of selling out all their stock for the year. The cost difference (a few bucks a tree) will not matter that much unless you are planting a lot of trees.
I wanted to plant some tree in late spring last year after we moved into our new house but everything was sold out. This year I got my order in early to ensure I got what I wanted. I believed I ordered in January and they sent things in late march through april.
