Wildfire black gum
Tree arrived in great shape. It has beautiful colors.
Very nice tree. Needs protection to survive winds and deer
Tree arrived as scheduled, healthy but leaning. While planting instructions mention staking, they don't include best methods to do it. I opted for two stakes attaching them to the tree with old nylon stockings so it can still sway a little to strengthen the trunk while the roots establish. Happy with the tree. Just wish FGT offered more complete care tips. Gum trees are described as deer resistant. Yes, when they're older but this is a young tree so deer will happily devour tender new leaves unless its protected. That also wasn't mentioned.
Great Tree
Ordered the 6'-7' and they arrived in great condition. I am excited to see these take off the next couple of years.
2 years old and growing strong!
Purchased and planted our black gum in April 2024. As noted in previous review, we staked it too long and changed tactics to help the trunk grow stronger. This spring, growth has been fantastic. Tree was still leaning a little and since the winds continue to blow on it from primarily one direction, we are gently staking it again during the growing season to help straighten it. But aside from that, this tree is beautiful and very healthy!
Wildfire black gum. What a beauty!
It can in at the perfect time! Rains came the following 2 days along with cooler weather. Beautiful tree! Looking forward to many happy years under the shade.
