  • New shrubs and snow/frost?

    Well, it's that time of year! The new fruit shrubs are arriving, the credit card is screaming and the unseasonal snow is falling.

    I'll wait till it goes before planting out, but in the meantime, does anyone know if I am alright to keep the following hardy plants in their pots in an unheated greenhouse till I can get out there and lovingly jam them in the ground?

    I've got a green grape (Phoenix), kiwi Jenny, blue honeysuckle/honeyberries, chilean guava and vietnamese coriander to go in.

    Should be fine. The only one I wasn't sure about was the chilean guava but I found this link which reckons it's hardy down to -10.

      Phew, thanks.

      It's odd that I don't just bung things in as I get them, but have been held up by the whole building fruit cages and new allotment prep so am scarily far behind at the moment!
