Can I grow one from a new growth shoot from a existing tree? Any help would be appreciated. I got one from a tree at a business I was waiting at this morning, so I want to see if I can plant it in the yard and keep it alive in a pot first.

I don’t see why not as long as it has plenty of water… I need one

You can. I have one in a pot from my tree.

Do you ever come through Baileyton or Arab?

I don’t. I have an uncle that lives in Arab though.

I planted 2 years ago in my backyard. Did well for a few years. A buck decided he liked to rub on them, and eventually killed both.

If you get out this way, I'll cut you some from my tree.

When do the worms typically show up? Haven’t seen any in years?

Last year was the first year (3 yo tree then) that they hit mine. There was two waves of them. I can't recall when it was but they cleaned the leaves off and it seems like it took around a month for it to fill back out then they hit it again. I planted it right by the pond in the back yard to make it easy bait.

June

Between your post and now. Green stems is all I have left and it had full leafs on Sunday.

I’ll have to start looking at the trees around here! Thanks for the update
