The ones closest to the white oak were planted in 2026 (on top of a spot where one was planted in 2025 and didn't survive); the one beyond them was planted in 2025.
Ordered or bought, but not yet planted. From road, the first one will be the squeeze box cultivar, then two of the nigra culivars, then three straight species.
