I planted a magnolia tree last April, my husband said it wouldn't make it because you are suppose to plant trees in a month that doesn't have a 'r' in it. Is this true or is it an ole wifes tale?

It started getting new leaves, then the grasshoppers got really bad, and ate a lot of the leaves. It is still green so I suppose it is still alive. I plan on putting a wind break up around it and hay around the base of it before the harsh winter really sets in. The tag on mine says it is a SweetBay Magnolia.

I need to know the best time of year, month to plant one, because I would like to get another one.
