Several trees and shrubs are being shipped to me tomorrow. From the list below, can y'all give me any advice on whether to pot them now or go ahead and put them in the ground?

Aesculus parviflora (Bottle-Brush Buckeye)
Lindera benzoin (Spicebush)
Magnolia virginiana: (Sweetbay Magnolia)
Betula nigra (River Birch)
Asimina triloba (Pawpaw)
Ptelea trifoliata: (Hoptree)
Zanthoxylum clava-herculis (Toothache Tree)
Persea palustris (Swamp Redbay)

Thank you
Deborah

If the trees and shrubs come potted, they can be planted any time. Bareroot plants are best planted in the fall or late winter. Our summers here are so hot that bareroot trees have to go in the ground in January to survive the first summer. This late, I would pot now and put them in the ground in the fall.

Thanks, bettydee. That at least will give me time to really think about where the best planting spots would be on my property.
