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.
