We got ours from Village Palms (352) 753-4772
Call or visit and just ask for appropriate planting info.
They sell with a decent warrantee on these trees, better than we found anywhere else we looked. (and we looked at quite a few places)

Do know that the Sylvester takes a little longer to get established in the ground. Careful trickle watering daily for the first 30 days is paramount.
Wendy (Village Palms) gives all the proper instructions needed ( for those first 30 days and beyond) when they install your tree.

Our neighbor bought two very large beauties from his independent landscaper and was told to soak them for a week. After that week, he left for 3 months. One tree died in the first month, the other died two months later.
His warrantee was only good for 30 days, and he was not here. He now has to pay to have them taken away.
