Not happy with this one. This tree lost an exceptional amount of mass due to shipping damage. Almost two weeks later, I have it re-potted, and it appears to be doing well. The tree was not braced in the container, so I assume it just got beat to hell and back. I've ordered other trees online, through different companies, and had extremely better results.
In any case... This tree's reported hardiness zone is not higher than 6, with Ohio just meeting that requirement. Since there's a chance that this tree will die back in winter, and re-bloom in summer, halting it's growth, I am going to attempt to nurse the tree to a certain height prior to planting next year. Maybe longer.
