Another method that I think would be worth trying out is raw honey.

Another way to do it is to put in actual trees instead of posts. They can be as low as $1/tree or seeds are really cheap! They grow quicker on swales.

Keep the hole watered. We had an 8" round hedge post sprout, just because it was in the bottom in the spring where the water table was up above the bottom of the post.
