A Good Start
I ordered 3 of the wildgum trees; the 6-7 ft tall variety. The ordered arrived quickly and was well packaged. One of the boxes had slight damage on the outside but the plant inside was fine. I unboxed them immediately and stood them up right to allow them to get fresh sun and air. The trees looks healthy and have good leaves. later that evening i planted them. I used Kellogs Tree and Shrub soil. That is what the fastgrowingtrees expert via phone suggested. I was told to expect little to no growth the first year as the trees look to develop root system in their new home. years 1-2 expect to see moderate growth and then eventually the 'fast growth'. For reference, Fast growth is up to 3 feet a year. Moderate is up to 2 feet per year. and slow growth is up to 1 feet per year
Love it!
I bought this tree last fall when a storm brought down my sycamore. I had been researching trees for the last few years since I know the sycamore would have to go eventually. When a storm last summer took the tree out I was excited because I had found what I think will be the perfect tree. I love it already - the leaves are gorgeous.
Love it!
I bought this last fall when a storm took out my monster sycamore. So far I love it!
Great tree
Arrived healthy and has been in the ground for a little over a year. Survived winter in zone 8 Georgia. Is currently growing bright red in color leaves all over the place. The shape is still mostly the same as when it arrives besides everything being bigger.
Nice size tree
Tree arrived dormant (no leaves) but looks good. Packed well, no damage to tree although the box was a bit beat up. I planted it in my front yard right away. Here's hoping it adapts well and survives the winter. Looking forward to Spring!
