    Having missed the Autumn "window" for planting out shrubs, that I have in pots, when would be the earliest time I could plant them out?

    I'm referring to evergreens such as pittosporum.

    Thank you :)

    I'd leave them until Spring to be on the safe side "M". It's not worth the risk of planting them now and suffering frost damage.
