Tips for overwintering potted fruit(s)

DonnaMarieNJ · April 23, 2015

I don't know if this should go in the container or fruit area, so I am posting it under general

I would like some tips on overwintering my small fruit plants. I have a raspberry, dwarf key lime, and blueberry plant. All are young (i.e, 5 inches or so).

What do I do with them come fall? Since the seedlings and containers are small, I do not want to plant or leave them outdoors due to our extreme weather. I can do that when they are older and sturdier. Should they go in the unheated garage? In the basement? In a sunny window? Do I water often? Fertilize?

My main goal is to get them big enough to plant outdoors in a permanent container.

Thanks!

Donna
