pirl,beautiful,beautiful, yes I think its a Jackmanii too,but i didnt want to make a stab in the dark or foot in mouth !!!! Iam thinking my soil wasnt quite as good as I thought ,ran into yellow clay about 14inches down.I think the west sun was brutal on them !! I will probly keep them potted for awhile until I find spots for them.Iam sure with a little help I will be able to ID them by summer.I get sun on the eastside now ,but after the trees leaf out i get no morning sun till after 10:00am,then in some areas by 1 i have shade again .maybe this photo will help you see ,although the big tree on the right will be cut down in aweek or so.Wild cherry in bad shape,and it shades the veggie garden by 2pm,4 hrs of sun on the garden not good enough!!! i have a hard time getting 6 hours of sun in certain areas for sure.execpt on the west side arggg
