Preparing Nursery Plants for Winter

[Ann B.]

Hi, Everyone!

I came across this article when searching for an answer to dormancy requirements of certain plants, and I thought it might be helpful to all of you.

Even though it is written by the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service, I believe there is information that will be useful to those of you north of Georgia. This seems to be a topic of inerest to almost everyone this time of the year.

It's amazing how much I have learned from those of you in other areas of the world, and I sincerely hope everyone will find something to help them in this one!

This will be a test I left about 800 plants out (slightly protected) in cans and about 400 planted in ground. It's cold, and windy but not mutch snow -- snow would help cover them and insulate. Worry about the Jap Maples -- other stuff all did ok last year.
