I really don't know why you send this so early. I t was a difficult summer with drought, heat and wind, but tree has survived. I'll know better in another year!

So far so good
So far it has been only several months from planting, and I can tell the tree is alive by looking to the leave buds during the winter.

Butternut review
I purchased a butternut for the 2016 season, it was smallest and the last of the trees I received last year to produce leaves and grew the least (only about 10 to 12 inches). I fed and watered it regularly and it appeared healthy but it didn't grow as quickly as the apple and pecan trees I received at the same time. I don't have any experience with butternuts so I don't know if it is typical. This spring it along with the other Stark Bros. trees I purchased were the first to leaf out and the butternut bloomed and produced a single catkin. A neighboring forester told me he has never seen a butternut so short produce flowers or catkins. It is growing great this year. I purchased a second this year and it leafed out quicker and has overtaken last years tree in height. I believe these trees will grow very will this year. All of my trees are in cages to protect them from deer in our area.

Hope the deer and bears like them
Have had this in the ground and all is well. Plant arrived happy and healthy and is doing well through this Spring. The one I put in last year is also doing well. Had to cage them as the deer will browse and horn them. Hopefully in a few years it will be bearing well. Just like my other trees from Stark.

Surviving
We had a freeze on May 14th and it lost all its leaves as the temperature fell to 27degrees. It's now sending out new buds.

Quite pleased with Stark's Bountiful Butternut
The butternut is vigorous and growing very well. I've been quite pleased with bare root trees that I've purchased from Stark Bros.

You would laugh at me.
My little Butternut tree-ling put on leaves 2 week after planting but they looked droopy like the little tree may not be getting enough water. So I watered, and watered and watered it. It put on more and more leaves but they still looked droopy. Not being able to figure out why, I did some research and low and behold I found out that is how the leaves of a Butternut grow. It survived thru our Montana winter and is thriving this spring. I would recommend the Bountiful Butternut from Stark Brothers to anyone who is looking for a hardy nut tree.
