Interesting. The fact that nursery's keep their potted shrubs outside
hadn't dawned on me.

Well, will keep that in mind for next year, as the locally cut tree has been
purchased.

Thanks for the info.

Not sure your nursery's info was exactly correct (re planting
immediately). After all, there are many nurseries in cold climates
that overwinter their potted trees above ground!

The key, of course, is to protect the root ball from drying out and
freezing- and this can be accomplished by INSULATING the pot with, for
example, a quantity of mulch up and around the container- aim for at
least 10" worth all around...
