Hello, my first post is about a Rowan tree i have acquired! It is a
young one, about half a metre of growth on it. I have the roots sitting
in a tub of water just now but i want to obviously put it in the ground..
The problem is that i havnt yet completed digging the turf up in my
garden and getting it ready for plants.


The ground under the turf is awful. We are in a steading conversion and
the people who built it put the turf on ground of stones mainly it
seems. So we need to get some more soil in.


How long can it last in this tub? Can i plant it into a pot for now?

It will die if left in water because the roots need to exchange gasses
with the air to survive.

That is true but in some cases a tree can pump oxygen down for respiration.
