Get a pick-Axe, swing hard and the frozen crust can be broken through.  Best place to store plants is with their roots in the ground.

ground here not quite frozen yet - but I haven't tried yet this morning, though

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 advanceDianne.
