RE: help my new maples havent taken root

Hello adamdowning,

Wow, that's some packed and hard dirt you must have. Worst we get around here are the new construction lots with rocks and concrete debris in them.

What's going on to cause you to say they haven't taken root?

Are they not growing leaves?

Or are they blowing all over the place in the wind and will need staked?

Oh, and also how big a bare root fellas are these?
