First year of growth is promising and healthy.
My tree is now one year old and it is growing nicely. The Sops of Wine is growing at an average rate compared to the other varieties that I planted at the same time. It arrives and looks like a stick, and one year later it actually resembles a small healthy tree. Customer service was also very helpful with resolving mistakes made in shipment.
