I've planted about 15 mostly from 3 gallon pots. I killed 14 of them! The one survivor left is a solo I believe. I have almost killed that one about 5 times! It's been in the ground for a year and a half and is only about 8 feet tall. I am gong to try to find some of those sweet sues. It would appear they may be easier to grow. The 25F cold hardiness would really help as well as the root rot resitance.
