And of course, what they don't tell the consumers is that larger plants
take longer to recover. The standard rule of thumb is that it takes
as many years for a tree to recover from transplanting as it is old.
So if you plant a ten year-old tree, it's going to take ten years for it
to be back at 100% and will need to be coddled that much longer.
