Have I got time to squeeze some in still this year if I do it quick sharpish ?

Looking at http://www.hedgesdirect.co.uk/acatalog/Blackthorn_prunus_hedge.html They seem very reasonably priced and a nice dense thicket of thorns sounds like a very good idea to me.

I would say yes - but only if you can get water to them if the dry weather continues.

Ta MoS.

Can I - yes. Will I remember... different matter

I've order them, and plenty of extra just in case.

My trees arrived today

Im run off my feet at the moment and wont have time to do anything with them until the weekend.

Should I ..
Leave them bagged as is?
Open and wrap the roots with wet paper ?
Open and stand in a bucket of water ?
Heal them in?

We're forecast cold, possibly snowy weather for the next couple of days.

Oooh Ta

What is it they say - In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king

They're soaking in trugs in the utility room - but I may have over bought

They look to be really good plants, 3-4 ft each, as thick as my index finger and a good mass of roots, sent all the way from Ireland too.
