Hello!

We bought two varieties of local thriving (MA) blueberries and unfortunately due to pure oversight never planted. They’re now potted and alive but winter is coming… should we plant and pray? Or store in our garage and do the same? What do we think will give them the best chance of survival until next spring?

I would plant them. It is safer inside, but less light so without knowing more than you are in MA I can only suggest they are hardy and the best thing to do is care for the roots. Even if they burn down they would then regrow. Have you checked your soil pH at the planting site??

I would go with DirtMechanic. If oversight meant they got left in the garage too long in Spring ... You could wrap them a bit in something like old net curtain if it got really cold, but it doesn't seem to be doing that so much anymore.
