Parks shipped my peach tree early - what do I do?

I have been waiting TWO years to get this Saturn peach tree and it just arrived - too early to plant! What do I do with it?

Yank, you might want to ask over at trees and shrubs,

Thanks - I just did.

I planted my peach tree on March 26 last year. It did just fine. The ground was nice and mushy too, so the digging was easier.

This is a great time to plant trees and shrubs. Dig away!

I've planted trees even earlier than this time of year! As long as you can dig the hole, you're good to go!

I planted my redbud yesterday.

A couple of years ago, I subscribed to the Arbor Society, you know the deal where they send you 15 trees(12" tall). They arrived in mid-March and all but one is doing well. :)

I vote for planting it, too.

I also got all those little trees, Sandy. I gave most of them away last year. One of the redbuds (now almost 4 feet) is going to be planted in a new garden in the terrace on our city street. - along with a lot of the extra plants I germinated.

your neighbors must love that you live near them so they can enjoy your trees with them! I know what you mean with the 'extra' seedlings- I planted 27 moonflowers thinking just a few would come up heehee! They all have sprung to life! Maybe in the cloak of darkness I can leave some on doorsteps in the neighborhood!!(most around here aren't gardeners!)

That's what I plan to do - just distribute things and hope the orphans get good homes!
