  1. Mike

    Large root systems. The top is liable to not leaf out, but will shoot from the bottom and reach the original height by the end of the season. Like everyone says, be patient. Beautiful in leaf, bright yellow fall color, and the trunk is amazing. In full sun they want to get bushy, you’ll need to prune the lowest branches religiously to make a tree.
