| I have some just-potted apple grafts. I want to know if it's OK to leave them outside, how much cold they can take, and how much sun. If I leave them partly shaded is that OK? Or should I harden them off before putting them out? I'm not sure whether to treat them like trees or seedlings, so thanks for any advice. |

| Several day's in the shade then slowly move them to partly shaded. If they're very tender from being boxed up or coming from a warmer climate then hardening off would be a good idea. |

| Thanks, Do you think I could leave them inside for a few days, since I won't be able to move them for the next couple of days? |

| I would think so,...easy on light if they have leaves..then move them closer to the window. |

| OK, thanks very much. They have no leaves. They were grafted probably a week or two ago. So which would you pick: basement = lower light, cooler temps at night; or inside = more light and slightly warmer, say around 60? |

| Well,... now you want that graft to be pushed out to it's max growing condition, warm with good light, right to the window upstairs. |
