It's going to be easy to plant. The roots are in very loose potting soil, like you would find locally but without the pot. I sat it in a pot and gave the roots/soil a good soaking. First time I'll have a good chance to put in the ground is Saturday morning. And in the meantime, yes, sitting it in a shady spot to let it recover without more stress.

I got the beautiful little Dogwood I mentioned recently, the Summer Fun. Could not find it locally at any nursery, called around to at least a dozen of them. Ordered it from the west coast, they shipped it by air, took three days to get here.
