Replacement one tree on Feb. 2006; purchased at Lowes, New Bern, NC
Two trees arrived 4 ft. high and were originally planted in the West yard, a very sunny and open location then. Planted in a raise bed the ground was also dry.
After 2 yrs. of frequent fungus on leaves and hard to maintain soil moist enough during summer, one tree died. Spring 2006, we moved the surviving tree and a replacement
to the East Yard bed #16 which provides a cooler/shady spot. Since then, the trees have grown tall and healthy. Orchard Orioles come back to nest every year since 2007.
