5!
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.
C. Paradise/Massachusetts 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. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
