Thanks guys! Okay, I really didn't think about the radiant heat from the wall... That could really be a problem. I may need to relocate to a more open area I have on the other side of the house. I also, figured as long as I keep them shaped vertical and it can grow towards the front it would be okay. Everything in my housing area is vertical. Every other tree here is thin and vertical. Also, it is in native soil along with the organic soil mixed in. I have a closed container filled with soil and coffee grinds. Should I place that around the bases of the crepes to hopefully add some extra nutrients? And the Tuscarora does tend to perk up when I water it. The nursery told me to plant in full sun that they love the heat here. That area gets really hot sun in the summer. I wonder if there is a screen or something I can place on the wall behind them to help keep the wall cooler.
Thank you all for he help. I'll update in the next few weeks on how they are.
