Overwintering transplants

[Mad Professor]

Well have 2-3 old blueberries, grapes, apples and peaches . Doing well potted in large containers.

I could not get them in the ground this fall. Will they be O.K. in the pots outside?? I am in zone 4 bur sometimes see zone 3 temps.

Bring inside to cold storage or fine outside?

i'm in aobut the same zone. i've had good success by mounding mulch around the pot or "planting" the container in the ground a little ways.... you're not done yet keep watering them as they freeze. you don't want to freeze dry those fruits just yet.

Now is the perfect time to put them in the ground.

With my potted hardwoods, I bury the pot in the ground and mulch across the top with leaves.
Ive had good success with this.
