I kind of forgot to change the arrival for my plugs from the U of Idaho..Wild apple and some Bur Oak. What would you guys recommend for storage for 2 weeks? They will be planted in Iowa.
Refrigerator?

Fridge or unheated garage where it doesn't freeze too hard.

I think they sat in the UPS truck over the weekend, which is probably not good . 🥺

They do look good overall! Damn weather! Ya, no kidding. My trees and rootstocks just arrived from SLN. They must have been on a UPS truck over the weekend too. The pear definitely has bud swell. Not sure if I should plant it out right now or not. I'd hate for it to completely wake up only to experience some more lows in the teens. |

I got my shipping notice from U of ID today. My trees should be here by Friday. I hope they get here before the weekend.

I forgot I order from Iowa state nursery last fall. I usually order from MDC but, they were sold out when I looked so I must’ve went with Iowa. I got a confirmation email they were coming this week. So I guess I’ll be planting so next weekend.  |

Nice mix of trees NH, and a real fair price! Love those Swamp White Oak!

They look good and healthy, even after 5 days sitting in planes/trucks/warehouses. The apple plugs could probably be grafted this year, but I'll plant them out directly and let them grow for a year or two before grafting. |
