Morning all. My family and I will soon be relocating from the South coast up to a small coastal town up in the North West and I was looking for some advice. I will be leaving behind a large established garden and would like to bring a few plants with me. Are there any green fingered folk up in Cumbria who could advice if the plants I wanted to bring would a) grow well b) overwinter outside ok or would need extra protection/fleece/brought inside. Plants in question are a couple of fig trees. Currently in pots. Have successfully overwintered left outside here in the South. Would they establish ok if planted in the ground or would it be best to keep them in pots? I have a small Rhus Typhina/Stag's Horn Sumach tree. Currently in a pot. Would this establish ok if planted in ground? And last but not least is a small Arbutus Unedo/Strawberry Tree. Growing well in a pot with ericaceous compost. Would this establish ok if planted/overwinter ok?Having spent some time looking through books/RHS/various sites online I am still none the wiser if these plants would establish well/need extra care over winter etc. Could anyone advice? Any help much appreciated!
