This will be my first spring back in the hobby after a long hiatus and then restarting the collection this past summer I have several projects cooking. I have 4 1 gallon plants from Evergreen Gardenworks. One American hackberry, One Amur maple, and 2 tridents all with the current goal of trunk development.
The hackberry and Amur are going in the ground for sure. These can take my winter no problem, hackberry is a native and Amur native to colder areas than mine. I have Anderson flats at my disposal and enough soil to use these instead. Part of me wants to plant the tridents in the Anderson flats on a board as opposed to in the ground. They might enjoy winter in my unseated garage. It’s great, the temps are stable at ~40 degrees with a north facing window.
I am going to be letting these grow untouched to keep the gas pedal on trunk development before the first chop.
Can Tridents hold up to harsh winters if they are in the ground? My USDA zone is 6b, but just this winter I got extended periods of teens/single digits for the high/low. It’s what I’m looking at now again.
I was looking for some help on choosing how to plant them.
