Hi, I'm back again...I feel like I should make the conifer forum page my home page...lol.
**Please bare with me, this year is my first time I decided to landscape and I've made many mistakes but I had fun in the process and have learned a lot from the Gardenweb community.**
I bought a few 6' Murray Cypress potted trees from a nursery in Kentucky around July and planted them right away when I got home. They are doing just fine and actually have grown 2' since. I did little research (remember, first time doing this) and seen that my location was in USDA zone 6 from a map I quickly googled and thought sweet, I'll buy them since they are for zone 6-10A. I apparently was looking at a outdated or "generic" zoning map and the location that I'm in is really zone 5B. My question is should I expect these trees to die or is zone 6 to 5B not a big problem? They are planted on a berm with heavy mulch around them. Mulch is 6" radius away from the trunk.
EDIT: I am now aware that the Thuja Green Giants are a overall better choice for my zone and have actually bought some but I'd like to save my Murray's.
