Our Autumn Blaze is doing
Our Autumn Blaze is doing great! Turnaround on delivery was as described. The instructions on how to unbox, plant and timing was described perfectly. Also as described, you do really get a stick with some roots in a burlap sack. You can't really ship a whole tree so read the description before you buy if that is what you're expecting. We chose to plant ours in a very large pot first. We were still in heavy rain season so it worked for us. As spring hit, we move it to the front yard. We have heavy clay soil so we dig deeper to replace that with better draining soil around the roots. We've got some intense heat here with a lot of direct sunlight so we have to be very mindful of keeping the soil and roots moist to avoid leaf scorch. We got a little but it seems to be doing just fine overall. We also added a white paint guard to help the trunk stay cool along with a weeding guard for those oppsie lawn trimming moments.
Beautiful Tree
This was the fourth tree I purchased from FGT. It arrived on time and in perfect condition. The box was not destroyed and the maple looked healthy. So healthy, I planted it that evening. Only time will tell but I don't see any reason it won't become a beautiful shade tree.
