Bought only one potted one 2 years ago. Freedom, 15-20ft tall, looks like m111. Has about 15 young apples on it. Plucked most of the flowers off. PRobably my largest tree I planted so far.
Bust that rootball open. mine was a nasty mess. Put it in around mid june or so. Did good the first year too.
Ordered bareroots on clearance from stark nurseries and planted June time too. Macoun, Arkansas Black, franklin cider, and a saturn peach. Glad I did probably wouldn't of bought an Arkansas otherwise.
Not sure IF I would do it If you cant water atleast weekly until the bulk of summer heat winds down.
