Greetings, just an update I thought some might be interested to see a bit of the survivability these trees seem to have.
The other year I bought a few Dunstans at walmart. Apparently the word about them wasn't out yet as they were against the wall. You know where clearance stuff winds up all dry and withering. Got them in the ground and did what I could to tend to them. Well what they were seemed to have died off, but in the spring they came back to life with shoots.
Just recently I snapped a few more pics of their progress. Shoots were sort of growing out instead of up, so I took some garden stakes and string and made supports around them. Picked up 3 more and a pin oak to get into the ground this year.
To Luck.
