what do the roots look like?

i live in florida as you can see from my profile, and i was told by some very knowledgable people in my club (and BT) that it was too late in april for collecting BC. at that time of year, they gave a bare-root BC a less than 5-% chance of making it. i dont mean to scare you, but i personally would go weak on fertilizer because of the young roots (if i used any at all!). i wouldnt even cut shoots off...

these trees are hardy, but even the hardiest of trees can be killed with too much TLC.

good luck,

jeff
