I purchased 3 trees last fall from Blue Grass Nursery. One Micamac(sp?) Crab, One Choke Cherry and a Swedish Aspen. I dug the holes by hand, planted them, and watered until the frost came, and have been watering quite regularly this spring/summer.

They are growing and look healthy. They were quite cheaply priced ~ around $300 for the 3, as it was end of season. The Aspen is now close to 9', the crab and cherry over 6'.
I think the main thing is to plant in good soil and water regularly.
