Will see if they sprout

Bought them. Nicely packed. Didn’t see the invite to make video, till after I ut plants in pots, since it was at the bottom of the box. We will see if they sprout. Bringing them to plant in ground in Maine. Article said if they do not blossom this year they will next year. This is doubtful since the roots probably have to grow below freeze line in Maine. Hope they do sprout this year and roots grow below 30 inches, Time will tell.

Black walnut tree are nice

Thank you for the black walnut trees. They are in the ground. I originally ordered 25 of the 3’-4’ tall seedlings. TN nursery called and said they were out of stock and would I prefer 40 seedlings in the 2’ tall range for the same price I had paid as the 25 larger ones. I agreed. The 2’ tall black walnuts came and I planted them within 24 hours. Then I was surprised by another shipment of the 25 larger sized black walnut seedlings a week later! Not wanting them to go bad and dry out, I found some more room in my yard for them and planted them within 24 hours as well. Thank you for your kind generosity! There is hopefully a future black walnut grove of 70 trees in my yard for grandchildren and the next generation to enjoy.
