Detailed plant care fact sheets:

Some species enter super dormancy during cold storage and must be forced into bud just before planting. “Sweating” creates a
super-humid, warm environment that coaxes buds to open.
Species that sometimes need sweating: Basswood, Birch, Black-gum, Hackberry, Hawthorn, Hornbeam, Hickory, Lilac, Maple, Mountainash,
Oak, Pear, Rose, Redbud, Sassafras, Serviceberry.
Method 1 – Small stock: Pot up plants (after soaking roots), water well and place in plastic bag. Close top of bag loosely with
twist-tie or rubber band to keep in moisture. Keep in a warm, shaded location (60F).
Method 2 – Larger stock: Place layer of plastic or tarp on the floor of a garage or cellar that stays above 55F. After soaking
roots, lay plants side-by-side and completely cover from tip to root with several layers of moistened packing material or burlap
and cover with plastic or tarp. Fold bottom plastic layer over edges of top layer to keep in moisture.
Method 3 – Already planted stock: If, after a couple of weeks, buds have not swelled or opened, enclose top of tree in white plastic bag and
close off at trunk with twist-tie. Open daily to provide air circulation and allow heat to escape.
All methods (May take several days - two weeks) Check plants daily to see if buds have swelled, the packing material/soil is moist,
and that no mold has developed on plants. (If mold develops, rinse or wipe off with clear water.) Once buds begin to open, plant in
permanent location or leave in pot for fall planting. Already planted trees, simply remove bag.
