Nanking Cherry

Checked all 15 plants immediately upon arrive. All look to have excellent roots. Still dormant and tops pruned. Delayed planting so used "damp sawdust bucket" method shown in video. 4 inches snow May 10, glad still not planted.

Bate root cherries arrived as notified in excellent condition with large roots.

These arrived with branches full of healthy green leaves and plenty of roots! They have been settling in happily for two weeks now and looking great.

Plants were very tiny bear root
I soaked it in water the roots and planted it in a pot the day it was picked up by a friend
And I checked it today 2 weeks after planted in pot and one of the two plants don’t look alive at the very least
One looks like it might live. I purchased 2 Since it said it needs 2 to fruit well.
But apparently one is not going to make it
I hope your nursery stands behind the viability of your plants
Hard to say how healthy a plant is when we buy bare root.

Plants were smaller than expected and shipped bare root later than the optimal time to plant in Mississippi. Some had started to leaf out and we had a frost a couple days after planting. Optimal time for bare root fruit plantings here is fall, not late winter/early spring. I planted them as directed, hoping for the best and hoping not to have to return due to failure to survive.
