Jim is ...."Loving these sequoia trees. After planting these last summer we had thoughts that this winter [being the worst on the east coast in years] would kill them however, to my surprise after taking the burlap I found all 10 doing very well. In comparison your trees replant rate for us is to date 100%." -
