Hey.
Have bought some cheap fruit trees today but am wondering if they will survive in pots over winter and until June when I move house?

They should be fine, just put them in a shelterd spot, keep them waterd and if it gets realy cold wrap them in flees.

I'm just about to move house with a whole lot of fruit trees; some of them have already survived one winter in pots - they should be fine!

Thanks that's brilliant!
Will pot them up today then. TBH even they don't survive, I didn't lose much - they were those cheap ones from Lidls!

Re: Fruit trees in pots?
Bubblewrap around the pots will help keep the roots from freezing, which I believe is more harmful than freezing air on the bit above ground (they are hardy after all!).
