If, during the month of January, you were to transplant a deciduous tree from the northern hemisphere to a location with similar seasonal conditionals in the southern hemisphere, would it be able to adapt to that instant 6-month change in weather conditions and survive? 

Also, which would be more favorable - going winter to summer or vice versa? I'd imagine the best time to transplant it would be in spring/fall due to similar temperatures.

Ignoring any complications with transplanting, could a deciduous tree adapt to immediate seasonal and temperature changes?

I believe it could. Deciduous trees take cues from temperature, day length (amount of light), or drought stress for when they should drop their leaves and go into a hibernation. When those stressors are removed, the tree should regrow leaves and begin photosynthesizing again.

I would think going from winter to summer would be easier to handle. There are preparation steps that deciduous plants go through to handle the hibernation stage in winter.
