Russ; I use 500 ml bottles. The straighter the bottle, the easier they put out into the hole in the ground. You hardly disturb the roots. I' d try 5% and 10% for about 8 hrs. I put the bottles in plastic growers trays that you buy potted plants in. The trays have drainage holes but keep the soil in the bottles. Add more soil to the bottles as the soil settles. I forgot to mention that American Chestnuts are native here too. They get cleaned up as soon as they drop.

Tree climber; I' d be estatic if I could grow Persimmons as big as a lemon. Mine are about the size of a medium walnut. Just don' t bite into an unripe Persimmon.
