How do I transplant my tree sucker?
When you remove them from the mother tree, make sure that they have some roots on them. I would actually pot them up and keep them in a somewhat shady location and keep them well watered until you see them producing new growth. Then you can transplant to a new location and treat as you would any other newly planted tree.
My daughter is getting married in the fall. They are very country calm people. We want to decorate the hall for the reception to look outdoors. Can I dig up small trees from the country and plant in pots and use them that way? Also, should I dig them now and take care of them all summer or wait until September? We live in northeast Missouri. I have a rain barrel, so I could water them with great water.
As long as they are smaller trees, yes, you can do this. The larger the tree, the more likely it is to go into shock and die when move, especially when moved into a pot.
If you plan on doing this, I would do so now and keep them well watered. This will allow them to acclimate to the pots and they will be healthy looking by the wedding. If you do it close to the wedding, the trees may go into shock and not have time to recover from teh shock before the wedding.

I have mold on very few leaves, and I have four trees growing together. Also, I have small trees growing around an area of trees. Are these trees or suckers growing? And can I transplant them?
Wet weather has resulted in molds growing where we don't normally see them. Use a broad spectrum fungicide on your trees. As for the suckers, think of them as branches. There are no roots to transplant. Cut them off at the ground.
I work at a preschool. We let the children play with shaving creme (cheap generic brand). One of my tactile activities involves applying shaving cream to tree trunks. Does this harm the tree in any way? Thank you.
It should not be an problem, just wash it off and wash it away from the tree roots system.

Mail order nurseries list pot sizes. What is a #1, #10, etc. pot size? Are these year old or more plants, namely shrubs?
This has to do with size of the plants, depending on what they are and where you get them - varies from place to place. The normal range for pots sizes is #1, #2, #3, #5, #7, and #10. Generally speaking, the larger the number, the larger the pot, and usually, the larger the plant. Most shrubs/trees are at least a year old prior to selling them.

I've sold part of my large garden but want to retain favorite shrubs and small trees and move them to another part of the garden. When is the best time to do this please and what's the best way? Thank you.
Spring and early fall are the best times to move plants. The key is to do your best to keep the plants from going into shock. This article will help you with that:
