Black Gum Tree

[ToeJoe]

In the Spring ( MAY ) of 2015, I planted a Black Gum tree and it did not survive and now there is a sprout coming up, this tree was a Wildfire Black Gum, my question is if I would dig this sprout up will I be able to transplant it and will it be the same cultivar as the tree that I planted?

In doing so what and how would I go about transplanting this?

This was the tree that I really wanted and this tree that I planted in the Spring of 2015 was my replacement that I planted in the Fall of 2014 which in the Spring of 2015 came out in buds but never broke buds.

Would it be the same tree ( Wildfire Black Gum ) or would it be something different?

I am from Northwest Ohio in Zone 5A, I have a heavy soil more so clay soil. It has good drainage. The tree would be in the Full sun. The PH is 6.5 to 7 depends on where you plant it.
