Transporting Plants for 10 hours in enclosed box ?
In a few weeks , I will be traveling from Fla to NC, a 9 hour trip. I
pull a trailer, and pack many things in large, enclosed plastic bins. I want to carry several small Azalea plants in 3 gal containers, as well as several small rose bushes. Because I travel at 70 mph for 9 hours, the wind would destroy these plants before I got there. Will these plants survive 9 hours in a completely enclosed container ? I would water them well before leaving, and take them out as soon as I got there. Comments Please ?? Thank you very much. James |

James Nursery plants are shipped across North America for days like that and survive so they can be sold. |
