How long hedge plants last

[Overby]

I've got some hedging I was planning on getting in last week/this week but the weather scuppered that. How long will the plants last in the bags? They're indoors and cool, presumably they'll be ok until next week?

In bags is ok for a month. Just.
If these are the black lined white outside type. Old feed sacks then put some hay or straw over.
Keeping the roots from drying out is paramount.
If the weather is similar to ours here in EA then your ground will be puuurrrrfect!
Just added 600 or so courtesy of WT including stakes, canes & a mix of guards to our planting scheme! Ours are all in as of end of November.

Add a little water to the bags occasionally and keep the top of the bags closed and they’ll keep for weeks.

I just dig a hole and place the bundles in covering the rooots with soil and they will keep until ready to plant out. Plenty of moisture about now to keep them moist. Transfer back the bags on day of planting.

we used to call the trench they were planted in "the plunge", have a few here I need to do that to.

It’s called heeling them in here.
