You will get anywhere from whips to well feathered trees.

I have ordered from cummins 3 yrs in a row now. I'm across the country and
the trees have arrived safe n sound, even after spending a week on ups trucks.

I have had 90-100% survival rate. (I'm pretty sure the survival rate
variance is due to my handling of the trees, as well as the condition of my
soil at planting).

Chris, a question: why did you head at 18"? Do you really want your primary
laterals that low?
