I ordered 2 Elderberry, Two Cherry, One 5 in 1 Peach, One 5 in 1 Pear and One 5 in 1 apple tree. They were sent bare root, dormant. I planted all of them.
The two elderberry, the apple and peach trees took off right away. The 5 in 1 pear and the two cherry trees didn't seem to be alive. I still went ahead and watered them faithfully, and prayed over them, and the pear is now getting growth on it and one of the cherries looks like it is starting to get growth on it.
I think some take a lot of time. I have read that some even take a couple of years. Despite my success, I believe I will go to a nursery the next time I purchase trees so that I can purchase them further along in the growth process, but thankfully with the Good Lord's help, mine are doing very well.
I did also plant nut trees recently from them, so I will update you on their progress as well.
Thanks for looking out for the newbies out here! If I had seen this, I probably would have gone straight to the nursery instead of ordering from them, but thankfully it has worked out for me so far.
Take care and God bless!

I second the local nursery, hands on best place to get any plant and it supports the local mom and pop economy!
Agreed!
I agree also. They will also, most of the time, help you of you are a newbie at planting trees and such.
WOW! Your story is in the slight minority. Great news!
Yes thankfully!
