I ordered my Austrees Back in the 90's. Cannot recall the exact year. They are the envy of the countryside. I believe they are at their highest. I has four which the power company recently sprayed and one under the line is gone but three are still holding on. The other five are excellent. A new brick home was recently built on the other side of the trees and it makes his place look great. I have three acres and they line his driveway. He had asked about cuttings from the trees but I explained they were hybrids and did not propagate or generate. They require some cleanup with branches falling at times, but I think they are the greatest. Have been thinking about purchasing more. A great tree. Love them. Dorothy from Dennison, OH
