But I would wait until spring when things are budding and beginning to leaf out. Those are both deciduous trees and lose leaves naturally in the winter. No watering is necessary in their dormant period. _________________________ ~Tina It is only your very best friends who see who you really are and love you anyway.

The roots are in plastic but there are leaves on the stems. When do I plant them and more importantly what do I do with them until planting. I live in zone 6 south Jersey.
