How to store tree whips?

I worked on a tree nursery for some years, as stated keep the roots well wrapped but make sure they don't get frozen to.

Well, they've been in transit for a few days but the tracking info says they were quite close this morning so I expect they're coming today. Weather looks OK too, which makes a change as I normally end up planting in the rain

Make sure the roots of the tree do not dry out. If it needs to be stored for a couple of days it can be left in the plastic bag in a cool place.

Well, I managed to plant 15 of them before I ran out of time. They were all pretty moist in the plastic bags and I've left them in it overnight. Hope it's not too cold but they should all be in the ground tomorrow - even managed to find some dry ground, which was a revelation...
