I read them after I put in two of the five I purchased. Then I soaked the other three as instructed. I only lost one and they're growing like gangbusters. The weather here in Memphis is pretty gnarly in the summer, so deep watering helped them get settled in. This year (year 2), the 4 surviving specimens really took off. We've had a cooler than usual summer and wetter than usual so that helped I think. I loved the American Elm and was glad to find the Zelkova's here (they're hard to find in local nurseries). The only gripe I have is that these are unlabeled cultivars; even the gardeners at Gurney's didn't know what they were. I would order bare root trees again AND I will follow the instructions the first time. ;D  -  Friday, June 19, 2009 You actually get what they say... Reviewed By: KC (jackson, ca) This tree IS actually a 3-4' bareroot. Out of all the items I ordered, this was the best. Soaked the roots and planted it, has sprouted wonderfully and I am pleased with this offering. Can't wait to see what it matures to.  -  Tuesday, June 02, 2009 Fast Grower Reviewed By: Ric (Chelsea, MA) Got my tree about three weeks ago and already there are new branches growing out of it. I've read that it can grow as much as 2 feet a year. If that's the case this will be a beautiful tree in just 5 years. I'll post an update if anything changes, but right now I'm impressed.  -  Saturday, March 15, 2008 Best kept secret Reviewed By: Sherry Dewey (Bellevue, NE) Great tree!!! best kept secret in trees.
