What do you mean by fruit seedlings? If you are talking about perennials
trees or bushes, why don't you plant them directly in the ground in their
permanent spot. Fall transplanting is the best in cold climates. The roots
actually do get established during the winter even though the tree is dormant
and trees transplanted in the Fall fare better, in the first few years, than
trees transplanted in the Spring.
As much as possible, I always transplant in the Fall.
Wait until the trees are dormant, then go for it. Last year, I transplanted
all my Spring grafts, end of November, when there was snow on the ground even
though the earth was not frozen. It works well for apples, pears, brambles,
roses and what not.

Hello All,

The local "lawn kid" will be leaving me some leaves to bury my fruit
seedlings in for the winter, but a question crossed my mind.

I have a small hobby greenhouse. If I cover that greenhouse with a dark
tarp, and open the vents, will that prevent the thawing and freezing of
fruit seedlings?

Anyone tried this? Since this is my first winter with the hobby
greenhouse, I do not know what they are like inside during the winter,
unheated, and covered with a dark tarp.

Thanks for any experience you have.

Later,
Tom
