When we receive bareroot trees, if the haven't broken dormancy, we put them in an old livestock tank and put dirt around them until we can plant them.  If they arrive and have broken dormancy, we plant them in pots in the greenhouse until we can plant them

I potted them in a tub with potting soil and they are in the garage. I have other plants there that seem to be doing OK although it's been really warm here. I don't think it will freeze. At least not very hard. And if it forecasts a stretch of really cold, I can take them to the basement which isn't very cool.
SO when can I plant them outside? The forecast is for 50, I think, on wednesday. The temperature goes up and down like a yo-yo. If they would be ok potted, I would just as soon leave them that way until May 1 or so. But it's anyone's guess what the weather will be May 1.
