I have read a ton of complaints against the National Arbor Day Foundation Corporation, and also about how "difficult" these bare root twigs are to start, but I have never had any trouble getting any of my sticks to grow, except for the hemlock I ordered last spring, which never took off. I will get more of them.

Of course, I pamper them all from the start by planting them in containers with high quality potting soil for their first couple of years.

This is a shot of what we see when we "relax on the patio" behind the garage. You can barely see the pond fountain getting cut off on the right.
