I bought 2 from Lowe's in Springfield, IL last Saturday for $25 a piece that were about 7 ft tall. I hope they make it through the winter.

I had one for about 10 years. Here in the Mid-south drainage is critical. Water logged soil is fatal. But it is a nice tree for spring color. Enjoy!

Fran,

Did the tree survive? How long did you have the tree? Where do you live? Can you give me any other details?

Fran,

So you cut the original tree done and it came back from the roots? Wow! Did the original tree loose some major branches during the ice storm? What do the bark beetles look like and what can you do about them?
