Having trouble locating one.
Do Calloway's generally have healthy trees? |

I went to several places and found a decent Drummond. It had few circling roots and a pretty good root flare.
It was however, staked far too long. You could tell the stake had been left for a couple of growing seasons. The bark was discolored where it was wrapped (green stretchy stuff tied to a bamboo stick). The trunk is straight and strong despite the above.
Anything I should do besides tree goop and/or garrett juice?
Thanks. |

Those wounds aren't going to hurt the tree. The treatments can't hurt but aren't necessary.
If the rootball is fine - of decent size versus the size of the tree - and you plant it properly you'll be OK. |
