Maybe San Gabriel Nursery. Think they need a cross pollinator? If you get a tree, send me scion when you prune. ;-) Here is a link that might be useful: http://www.yelp.com/biz/san-gabriel-nursery-and-florist-san-gabriel

If you want a large tree, Black Mission and Panache would be good candidates, as they a5re vigorous gropwers and good tasting as well. I will have about 100 varieties at the Festival of Fruit in August, in San Diego. Email me through the forum and we can work out what would be good.

Hi Liz5; I'm also in O.C., in fact not far from you, between Washingtonville and Monroe. I was just talking (via email) to valleygirl. Hope we can all get together this year sometime. Nice to *meet* you both! Have a Great Gardening Season!!! JoyW

Hello fellow OC. My name is Kathy and I live in Harriman. I love to garden and recently moved to Orange from Rockland. In Rockland, I had beautiful gardens but had to leave all my plants when I moved. I live in an old, small house with a lovely yard and have begun anew. Because my gardens are new, I do not have anything to exchange except questions,ideas and what nurseries are really good and inexpensive in the area... I wanted to try loves-lies-bleeding this year, I am glad to hear they did well. I love perennials especially iris and day lillies. I began a small herb "patch", and have a nice vegetable garden. I have some magnificant trees in my yard (that is what sold me on my house) and am starting some shade gardens. As you can see, I have allot of work to do.
