Default [IBC] Why Mulch ??

Shelly / Craig;

Are you suggesting I leave the Bloodgood indoors ?
Hmmmmm .....


Not at all. Keep them outside.


I started a dozen trees from seeds this spring from a parent tree in my
mothers front yard.
Her tree is a multi-trunk that's 25 feet tall.
30 years ago she was told it was a Bloodgood, and from my research, it
certainly looks like one.
Maybe it's the seedlings that can't survive the cold.
This would account for the fact that none of her garden seedlings have ever
survived the winter.

The seedlings should stay outside, just mulch them well.
