Answer
Until 14 days before Rosh Hashanah.
Source
Barren trees, ornamental shrubs, and aromatic trees, since they do not produce fruit, are not subject to the law of Orlah, and therefore may be planted and transplanted until Rosh Hashanah of the Shemitah year. Some hold that since their rooting time is 14 days, they may only be planted until the 15th of Elul and not later. Rambam (Shemitah and Yovel, Chapter 3, Halacha 11); Azmera Leshimcha (Shemitah, Issue 1).
