Troy Thomas –
I have planted these in the past and continue to plant some every year. Very good survival rate and weather tolerant. I have some I planted from 1′ seedlings in 2004 and they are 30′ tall +/-
now and have been producing for 5 years plus. I can tell you the deer absolutely fog to them when they start dropping in early to mid September (in South Central Illinois.
