Magnolias, hollies and Green Giants should do great. Just keep them watered before winter.

Magnolias didn't, froze, see pics.

Dumping gravel into rock holes out in pasture.
Got my riding mower trapped on the one with the arrow.
They'll be leveled and dirt added.
3 bucket loads

4 bucket loads for 2 holes!

1 bucket load for the hole that trapped mower

Gravel to stop sheep and mud, too. Lots left to do....


There's more of these holes, minus the huge rocks, out on the flat area. Makes mowing with tractor a huge pain when you surprise hit them! They'll also be filled with gravel and then dirt.

Got the gravel leveled out.
A bit more to move over, then dirt.


Some of the rock...Should of taken before pics of the holes, but they're weird dips with rock jutting out. Impossible to see with grass grown, dangerous and damaging to riding mower, no fun in the tractor to hit the rock...

If it helps with your quest to level the pastures with rock , I have the opposite issue. Except it’s mounds from the moles and ground squirrels. Mowing the pastures is like riding a bucking bronco ….literally . Gotta wear a seat belt.

Yeah, that's "better" than the big box store....

I am pretty sure that they guarantee their trees for replacement. My purchases from them didn't need to be replaced.

Yeah, not buying more. This was local, so I drove there.

It's not ever a good idea to let plants in pots overwinter IN their pots. I have, successfully, followed advice to bury a tree in it's pot in a garden bed, and it survived and thrived.

Sure, but that's how nurseries do it. So, there's no reason for them to fail.
They shouldn't sell in the dead of winter if it's a bad idea to keep in pot. Can't dig in frozen ground.
