[Shop-talk] any tree experts out there?

[Freese, Ken]

Tim,
Wife says:
I would take the plant and its soil intact (together) and put it in a larger
pot (12" would do); then put it in a nice bright spot in the house (a bit of
sun OK, but do not burn it). Water it during the winter once a week, but not
too much water (no soggy soil for long periods). Then wait until it gets a bit
larger (one season is enough if it starts to grow, otherwise do two seasons),
then plant it outdoors where you like it to be. This tree does well in full
sun, so check that the garagre does not shade it out.
Then the fun begins, where you have to provide a fence around it for a few
years, to protect it from animals. The shape of the tree is like an umbrella
and is drought tolerant after when it matures.

Not sure where my wife got it......I have a honey locust sapling in a 6"
pot that has to be too small to put in the ground here in southern WI
this close to winter.

Any one have any idea how what I could/should do with it over winter?

I did some searching online and didn't find this info..

Ohyea, shop content...I want to plant it behind the garage so it can one
day shade my shop. :-)

thanks!
tim
