Trying at south end of hardiness

Arrived timely in excellent condition. Planted according to very clear directions sent with it. Horticulturist in family believes tree will not be successful in Shenandoah Valley SE of WashingtonDC, too warm. Birches are not forest natives here. But these are beautiful and a white birch has done well for us, so we’ll try.
