  1. Evan F.

    I purchased these trees due to the challenging soil condition in the field behind my house. The soil is comprised of heavy marine clay which doesn’t drain well. Four of these 12” high trees were planted this past spring, with one in a location where trees of other species always die. So far, these trees have grown 6″ since planting, and the foliage has maintained its deep dark green color. The tree that I planted in that one bad location continues to thrive where six other trees have failed! I plan to purchase five more in the fall to replace the larch trees that didn’t survive in a normally wet area of the field.
