Dianne:
 
I often leave potted trees in the green house to over winter. Pot them, You can use the same pot depending upon how big the roots are. Then water them. Wrap the pot in plastic and place them in the garage.
 
They should be fine.

Subject: [NAFEX] HELP- late arrival of bare root hazelnut plants-zone 5!

Hi- I just recieved three bare root hazelnut plants.
I cannot plant them now- the ground is frozen (zone 5).
The Arbor Day foundation said they would replace the plants for spring shipping. But were no help on what to do with them now.  I am assuming they are alive but asleep and that there is a chance to pull maybe one or two thru this disaster.
 
I am thinking of planting them in a pot and leaving them in the garage over winter.  It does freeze sometimes in the garage during the winter so I thought the pot would  be better than leaving them bare root. I can't put them in the basement (I think) because we have our boiler down there and it is the warmest place in the house in the winter.
 
 
HELP please.  I hate the idea of any plant dying because of a person's stupidity (shipping in December!!! for planting in zone 5).
 
They are in the garage now- about 40 degrees- waiting till I get some feedback.
Thanks in advance 
Dianne.
