good fruit tree nurseries in south bay area
Comments (8)I just wanted to add that anytime I want something out of the ordinary I use mail order nurseries. Specialty nurseries are often excellent, since they sell to those in the know. Very few retail nurseries, even those of excellent quality such as Yamagani's, can have depth as well as breadth. They can't afford to, since their market is the general gardening public. Perhaps their typical customer is more discerning than that, since they are shopping at a real nursery instead of a box store, but still they cannot specialize too much. One thing about fruit trees is that you may want to concentrate on California-based mail order businesses, if you decide to go that way. A couple of out-of-state nurseries I called were not allowed to ship the fruit trees I wanted to California. I believe that some of the really big ones (Stark) have less problem with this. Apparently there are all sorts of expensive agricultural inspection hurdles to mount for a nursery in another state to ship fruit plants to California. This is California protecting its agricultural base. Kinda surprised me, thinking how fast we are paving over the best agricultural land for expensive housing, but so it is.

Comments (3)If you're up for a road trip, there's a nursery along the central coast that is having an amazing close out sale right now. See: [Sommer Wholesale Nursery.](http://www.sommerwholesalenursery.com/) They still have a great selection of 15 gallon maples, plus many unusual trees. Sale ends on the 10th....See MoreBay Area Nurseries for fruit trees/vines
Comments (3)I'm a big fan of Yamagami's nursery in Cupertino. They are on the pricey side but their nursery people are very helpful and they carry nice quality, and a good variety. Yamagamisnursery.com They are closed this week, will reopen on the 2nd of January. Also Roger Reynolds nursery up on the peninsula are good. www.rogerreynoldsnursery.com They might be a bit of a drive for you. And are you anywhere near Central wholesale nursery? Despite their name they do sell to the public. That's worth a look - when I was there in mid-summer they didn't have too much selection in fruit trees, but their inventory is always changing. They are a great place for natives, by the way. www.centralwholesalenursery.com...See MoreGreen Bay area nurseries
Comments (7)Well it depends on what you're looking to buy. Veggies? flowers? Trees? I would recommend Mayflower, it's west out past Austin Straubel airport. There is another large nursery west of Green Bay on HWY 29. I don't know the name, but they are well worth checking out as well. It'll be hard to avoid the Shroeder's Floral(not certain of the spelling) as they set up all over Green Bay during the summer. And I assume you are accustomed to Jung's since you shopped in the Madison area. The closest one is in Steven's Point....See MoreRed Berm
