Crystal, where did you husband obtain these? If they were locally
acquired they must be Cottonwoods, a local relative of Quaking Aspens.

If he brought these back from the more northerly, colder latitudes
then, no they will not grow here, or at least I have never heard of
it.

If they are Cottonwoods, then they will grow but need supplemental
water if not planted along a creek or low area.
