Nonsense Rascal
Nice tree MattE!
This...
Sounds backwards... I think I get the logic...
I'm not saying don't use the fridge.
But....that 1000 hours IS a minimum.
It means nothing to you!
Once it goes leafless, you can shtick it in their...but don't count to a thousand and pull it out....
Wait till your worst weather is gone, then put it out..
Otherwise. There Will be no strengthening...only weakening, brought on by confusion.
Personally...
I would leave it outside...if it dies...you know it's too cold (doubt it!)..
If it dies in the fridge....you may never know why...and you may spend years adjusting when you could have just put it out and been fine.
Leave as little as possible to question.
