Best time to dig?

[ibnozn]

I have several 10-20 y.o. Parson's and San Jose in the yard that I'd like to get into pots. When is the best time to dig? I've had both success and failure with early spring collecting. Michael Hagedorn mentions June as a time he likes to work on them. Is now a good time to collect them as well?

Early spring is always the best time to collect juniper, and you will always have success and failure collecting.
