Growing so well!
Got our Wildfire last April. Came in great shape, and has done remarkably well since then. First 2 pictures are when received, the rest were taken just now (April 2025). Putting on fabulous new growth - it's at least a foot taller than last year!
5 star
Great!Showed up on time. . . . put it in the ground,just started to bud few days ago looking forward to the summer!
Got three of these planted
Got three of these planted around the east side of the house. Took forever to dig our holes and set up irrigation, but I think all three will leaf out in the spring, they suffered while we got established, but I'm convinced they'll all make it.
New Tree Planted
I did a lot of reviews before purchasing and waited until fall to order. Tree came in nicely and securely packaged. Planting information was on the website. Recommend the tree planting kit. I will update in 1 year on the trees growth!
So far we do like
So far we do like this tree, this is our 2nd one since our first one died after the return date. The price was high for this replacement. Hopefully this one will make it.
