    Two big ones are still dormant but the smaller ones (I’m assuming they’re the same as they were tied together and didn’t have other labels) in pretty much full shade are both breaking dormancy.

    It is too early to tell. I can offer more information once they settle in and green up.

    I can say the plants were delivered when stated, I was disappointed that the roots of the trees were bone dry when I received them.. I did as instructed and placed in Water for 24 hours, then transplanted them to pots, where I hope they Show signs of life… Thanks, and hope thing go right, fingers crossed
