I ordered some bare-rooted plants for a hedge, and they were dispatched on
Tuesday. Unfortunately the carrier seems to have messed up and they have
not yet arrived.

If they don't come today I am guessing the earliest is Monday. Will they
still be okay? I haven't used bare-rooted plants for many years, so I'm not
sure how long they can be out of the ground. They are a mixture of
quickthorn and blackthorn with possibly a couple of other native species.

Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance,

Karen
