Growing Arborvitae in pots


Question
I live in Massachusetts and am growing Arborvitae in large pots around my pool area.  Should I bring these in for the Winter and if not, what special care would they need?

Answer
Robin,
It all depends on the pots.If they are clay pots,you should bring them indoors.Clay and pottery type material will not stand up to winter cold.They will crack and will not protect the roots.If they are the light weight resin pots that are insulated,you will be able to leave them out.The insulation will protect the roots.That is the type I recommend for keeping plants outdoors in winter.
