OP Renee Member R Joined: Oct 2002 Virginia	Hello everyone! I just bought a weeping pussy willow tree last week from an in door garden shop. Since the temps here are still freezing when would the best time to plant it outside be? I live in N VA and I don't want the tree to go into shock it does have the catkins on it already and I don't know if I should keep it indoors until spring or let it go through the cold weather to go dormant. pLease let me know I don't want to harm it. Thanks!

If it was outdoors....then it should be safe to leave it outside till you plant. But if it was indoors, then I agree with strawbari....harden it off and plant it out once all danger of frost is past and the ground is workable. Good luck Barb barbsblooms@shaw.ca
