You might be much better off growing the Pawpaws and Persimmons from seed. Each of these have a substantial taproot that make them difficult to transplant.

You may also want to look for grafted cultivars, rather than saplings, if you want them for the fruit. They are often commercially grown in root air-pruning containers which helps with the taproot problem. The cultivars will likely produce more and better fruit.

I constantly pull up native persimmon tree babies. The squirrels eat the fruit and spread the seeds everywhere. If you would like some of them LMK. Renne'

Hi
I can get you a rooted elderberry. The mexican elderberry- sambucus mexicana or sambucus cerulea, aka blue elderberry, grows wild here and I see tons of plants, large and small, on my hikes. I am interested in your concord grape vine if you still have any available for trade. Let me know if you are interested and I'll go and see if I can fetch you a nice plant this weekend.
