I ordered 2 red scarlet maple trees...the temp in my area right now is high 90s to 104 degrees...should I keep the trees in a container until next early sgring or can I plant the trees in such hot temps? please help thanks
If the trees have been grown and are coming from a "cooler" place, then I would transition them slowly into direct 90-104F sun. You want to minimize leaf burn for appearance sake and trunk scorch. Depending upon their size you could start them in containers as you say and transition them into full sun etc and then plant them later in the summer. Have fun with them!
It is possible to plant container trees in summer so long as they are well watered once in the ground. Especially in your heat! I think Katsura's idea of transition is a good one if they're to go into full sun. -E
