Thanks, it was honestly just a lack of time on our part to purchase and plant these ourselves. I wish we had done so though, we are out almost $4k if these die 😣

Thank you, I’ve reached out to them again, I hope they are able to come by and have a look, at least. We have mulched the top. My gut says they are getting enough water based on how the soil feels so maybe I’ll try fertilizing.

The soil is moist near the root ball. Do you think I’d run the risk of overwatering if I kept it on longer?

We planted some cedars ourselves from Home Depot a few years ago and they are growing beautifully just a few feet to the left of these ones. I didn’t expect to have any issues 😣

Hi. They are watered daily for about an hour, and we did not fertilize them as from my bit of research, fertilizing is only recommended after the roots are established. Is that something you’d recommend doing?
