-------------------------
del,
I live a few miles NE of Baudette, Minn. Battleford always
killed back its new growth to near the trunk in winters here
when I had one out in the field.
I grafted a few onto local Siberian crab seedlings and planted
them in a more protected place in our yard. But these yard
trees aren't fenced and are bothered by deer and eaten
back to near the trunk each year. So I still don't really know if
Battleford would do better in a yard, protected from the wind,
situation.
The above grafts were all planted a couple inches below
ground, so the entire exposed part of the trees were Battleford.
