I just got this guy, got him repotted in a training pot and hope the weather holds out long enough for him to get adjusted to his new home!

Nice one! Looks off to a good start. It being Alaska, I’d imagine winter could arrive any minute now

As I’m not familiar with your climate do these survive out there? Or do you have some sort of cold frame?

This will be their first winter here. I have a place that stays around freezing for most of the winter but when the temps drop below -20 outside I’m not sure how cold it will get. So, while I do some temp testing over the winter these will live in a fridge in my garage from October to March. I’m still pretty new to actually trying to keep trees alive ver the winter here. It’s going to be tough, but can’t be impossible. Just need to figure a system out.

Do you have a detached garage and/or a shed? Keeping in a fridge sounds like a recipe for failure, to be honest.

I do have a shed but we get weeks of -10 to -30. I’ve read where a nursery in Scandinavia refrigerated trees in winter and didn’t have any issues.

Oh wow, that is cold
Fridge might work with very attentive care. Don’t let it dry out in there! I guess you have to get creative if it is -30 for weeks!
