bare root source nearest sw virginia
Comments (4)Depending on where you are in SW Virginia, Adams County Nursery in PA may be within your 300 mile limit. They're a supplier of quality trees, prices are reasonable, and have a wide selection. However, with the price of gas the way it is, it might be cheaper to have them shipped to you. And, as already mentioned you're probably too late in the year to get bareroot. I'd suggest getting the ACN catalog now, and take some time to decide what you want, rootstock, etc. Then put in your order NOW for next spring. They do sell out of some varieties....See MoreBare Root Grape Sources

Comments (4)Joe, you talking trees then? Or a range of plant types? For trees-especially in "native restoration" work-oft times your county or local DNR tree sales can be good sources of native stock. For wetland plants, we've got some great sources here in this state, actually among the very pioneers of this side of the business, but I'm not thinking they'd be your best bet, both in terms of zone-appropriate species and shipping costs. Have you no wetland plant purveyors in your area? Or am I misinterpreting what it is you seek? +oM...See MoreSource for bare root Donald Wyman Crab
Comments (7)I place bare root tree orders a year in advance or as soon as they will accept orders. It's the only way to guarantee I will get what I need. And even then they still usually short me on some varieties. Allocations are done mid-summer and by September some trees will already be sold out for the following spring. There is Donald Wyman bare root still available but your local nursery must not buy from these sources. Can you switch to a different white flowering crab? Have you asked the nursery which other ones they carry?...See MoreAllen
