Mary - Aug 09, 2008
Lenora, KS (Hardiness Zone: 5)

I ordered 2 of these trees in May and
planted on Memorial Day here in KS.

They are both doing great! I am looking
forward to them at a mature height.

I am
hoping that the Deer do not discover them
this winter. They tend to wreck havoc on
trees in my area.

Thanks for the Great Trees!
