Hello,

I recently purchased some plants from Tractor Supply (Gooseberry, Blueberry, Blackberry, Hazelnut Trees and Strawberry). According to the directions they can be moved outside as soon as the soil is workable, which would be right now, what concerns me is that the plants are actively growing. They have green leaves and new growth, so l am guessing they are not dormant. We are still in winter with night time temps dropping into the teens. Should I keep these Plants indoors until the weather breaks in a month, or put them outside? Will the cold kill them?

Thanks.

Yella - can you move those plants outside when the temps are above freezing and then bring them back inside when the temp drops? It would be acclimating your plants to the cooler weather without freezing off the new foliage.

I was actually thinking about doing that. Temps are to be getting into the 40s next week during the day, so maybe I will give that a try. Thanks.
