Well, it worked. I planted 4 of them and they all sprouted and seem to be growing serveral inches a day. The area is not quite 100% sun so we'll see how they do.

I wish everything grew as well as the maple trees in my yard. A huge old tree dumps tons of seeds in my yard and seedlings spring up everywhere and grow like crazy. If I want a tree somewhere, I just wait and pretty soon one is there. Perhaps I should sell them on ebay...
