I just received my trees from cummins and I am a little concerned. There were 20 trees in the box stacked 10 one direction and 10 the other. They have large root systems so only about half of the root were in the moist mixture they send them in. The other half were on the dry side with some roots completely dry. I separated them into 5 bags and luckily I had a bag of wood shavings to cover them with and soaked them down. I have never received trees this big before. How much of these trees should I cut off. Usually the trees I get don't have branches, these thing are like full grown trees. I cut off all the damaged branches but stopped there. I will be planting them Saturday. Is it bad to have a couple inches of water in the bottom of the bags.
