You should wrap twine around them before it snows to hold them
together. It might be better to plant them now so they have all
winter to get established, at least that is the recommended
planting time for trees here.

Travis,
I'm out of luck for planting them this year. I won't have my trenches
properly prepared for another few weeks and, besides, nobody has any to
send to zone 4 as far as I know in the fall. Each place I have checked
is spring only. I understand the suggestion, though, as I have planted
almost all my other trees in the fall and they have all done rather
well. Thanks for the thought.
