Don't keep it in the water! It's alright to leave it for a couple of hours to rehydrate the plant, but leaving it for a long time will kill the roots from lack of oxygen. Plant it ASAP and keep a very careful check on soil moisture. See the link below that may give you some ideas. Here is a link that might be useful: Planting a Tree or Shrub

Mrs. Avery's rolls 2C Scalded Milk, cooled to warm temperature 3T Shortening or Butter, Melted ý C Sugar 1 t salt 2 eggs, beaten 2 pkgs yeast (or 1T bulk yeast) 1/3 warm water 4-5 cups flour Dissolve the yeast in the warm water (about 105 degrees) with a teaspoon of the sugar, wait until it foams. While waiting for the yeast to foam, mix the milk, butter, remaining sugar and salt. After the yeast foams, add the yeast mixture to it, and the two beaten eggs to the mixture. Either by hand or in a stand mixer, blend in flour a cup at a time until the dough is soft and fairly sticky. Turn onto a floured board and knead just until the dough is no longer sticky, but is smooth and satiny. Let rise until doubled, punch down, knead a little, then shape into rolls. Bake at 350 until golden. May brush with egg wash or butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Also good rolled in butter and cinnamon sugar. Dough is a good base dough for a variety of sweet breads like cinnamon rolls or brioche. Buttermilk Refrigerator Rolls Also called Angel biscuits....and to die for! 1 Package dry yeast 1/2 cup warm water 1/2 cup melted butter 4 1/2 cups all purpose flour 1/4 cup sugar 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon soda 2 cups buttermilk Dissolve yeast in warm water in a large mixing bowl.

Place in greased bowl, cover, and refrigerate until needed. Keeps for one week. Break off a soft ball sized lump of dough and roll into a circle about 1/4" thick. Cut into pie shaped wedges and roll up from the wider edge into crescent shapes. You do not have to let them rise again. Bake on greased baking sheet at 400 for 8-10 minutes.

Ugh. A google search found that my experience is quite the norm. This is an excerpt from another post about their attempt to reach this company. It's so frighteningly similar to my experience I could have written it myself: ABCMortgage should be avoided at all costs. I would rather live in a box than live in a mansion that has anything to do with ABC. I donÂt anger easily and I'm a reasonable and patient person--- IÂm in customer service myself---but the customer service, or should I say "lack of customer service" at ABC is appalling. My experience on trying to call to CORRECT THEIR MISTAKE and get information on the status of my loan... ABC--hello Me---yes, i have been transferred a few times with no resolution and I would like to speak with somebody about--- ABC interrupts---your property address? Me---well, hang on... the person I just spoke with blindly transferred me to the wrong dept. as soon as I gave her my address and-- ABC interrupting again----sir, I need your address to bring up your account Me---ok, but I want to explain my situation before you transfer me...its 1234 main street any town USA and--- ABC interrupts---please hold and then IÂm transferred again. Hello (unintelligible) dept. Me---yes, I am trying to resolve a problem with my mortgage and I was transferred to---- ABC interrupts---your property address please? (repeat above) Transferred again----only this time goes into someoneÂs voice mail with the recorded message saying it might be up to 4 DAYS before I get a return call...so, I call back again....same process as above---only this time, I demand to speak with a manager...she asks me for what? I tell her that I have a problem that I cant GET RESOLVED BECAUSE I KEEP GETTING TRANSFERRED TO PEOPLE WHO DONT CARE TO LISTEN! I then sternly, not rudely, tell her I want to speak with a manager now and I dont want to kept on hold all day...this is a serious issue which needs to be resolved immediately. then---you guessed it- ABC--- hold please, click transfer, phone rings, voice mail, tone to leave message, disconnect. Believe it or not, after this hour of getting nowhere, I called back again---same process; only this time, I got transferred to someoneÂs voicemail who was on vacation!!!!! Unbelievable. What eventually happened? Nothing....oh except there lack of assistance on resolving THEIR mistake created a domino effect of financial problems that have perpetuated to the point OF RUINING MY LIFE. ABC mortgage is terrible and should not be in business...do the world a favor and go into organized crime or something, but donÂt call yourself a company...your nothing but a bunch of people who donÂt care about anything. Looks like I have my work cut out for me.....

Yeah sorry-don't see much point in that. Beyond purposeful dwarfing techniques like bonsai, the concept of growing plants in containers that want to be very large, cold-adapted trees, doesn't add up to me. The roots alone will fill the container extremely rapidly. BTW, I said "cold-adapted" above to save myself from charges of hypocrisy; In the ornamental horticulture phase of my work, I very often grow plants that want to become large trees-tropical trees with interesting flowers, leaves, etc....but the difference is there is no intent to "perennialize" these items. doing so would involve enormous resources-heated high tunnels basically-to carry large, fully-grown plants into a new growing season, only to have them really be too large and unwieldy at that point.
