I have been to Home Depot and Lowe's and I am just not impressed with their
selection or prices. Does anyone have any experience with Ted's Trees @ 1118 Tillery in Austin? Or any of the trees advertisers in the Austin American Classifieds? I am looking for good sources for any or all of the below plants/shrubs/trees Lacey Oak Live Oak Bur Oak - or - Red Oak Possumhaw Holly Texas Redbud Yaupon Holly Dwarf Wax Myrtle Southern Wax Myrtle Yellow Bells Texas Mountain Laurel Any assistance you can provide will be greatly appreciated. I just moved into a new house and need to start landscaping the place. |

I've seen all but Lacey Oak and Bur Oak, Red Oak at all the box stores. I just
bought a 5 gallon redbud 'Forest Pansy' for 16 dollars at Home Depot in Round Rock. I have no experience with Ted's Trees, but supporting the locals is always a good idea. We don't have any decent garden centers here in Round Rock.

Smaller trees (1-10 gal. or so) adapt more quickly after transplanting and within a few years will catch up in size to larger transplants. And they're of course far less expensive. Of other nurseries in town, Barton Springs Nursery has the widest selection and best prices I've found on native tree species. Most of my own trees come from there. Nice list, btw. |

I second the Barton Spring Nursery recommendation, and I've noticed plenty of yellow bells and Texas mountain laurel on my recent visits. They have lots of trees in the back and have plenty of helpful, knowledgeable staffers. In between Walsh Tarlton and Westbank (or for the big picture, in between Mo-Pac and 360) on Bee Caves Road in West Lake Hills. -- Marc Stephenson IBM Server Group - Austin,TX T/L: 678-3189 |

We have bought several fairly large trees from Ted's Trees and had them
"install" them. They had good selection and prices and were great to work with. If they put the tree in, they guarantee it for a year. I recommend them highly. They will negotiate a bit on prices, too, especially if you are buying out of peak season or buying more than one tree at a time. gary "M&M" wrote in message ...

My brother-in-law, when seeing the Drake Elm we got from Ted's Trees, asked
if we'd gotten a deep discount due to the fact that it apparently had never been pruned and that we'd need to do so (heavily) over the next several years to address the many serious crotches in the tree. When told "no" and how much we paid, he suggested we not buy from them again. We did try another source (on 620, just north of Parmer). We called each day they were supposed to deliver to confirm and waited -- only to have them never show up. After several such incidents, I stopped by their office to cancel our order. Oddly enough, they attempted delivery later that same day and wound up wasting a trip to our home. So, in short, I'm pretty much in the same boat as you with regards to larger trees. I buy more moderately sized ones at a place on Pond Springs Road. Bought a much better Mexican Redbud there (and at lower cost) than their competition down the road (Red Barn). |

Thanks for all the advice ... I really appreciate it.
I picked up a 6 trunk Texas red oak from a landscaper that is now out of business for a great price. I am going to pick up the Possumhaw Holly from Ted's Trees this weekend. Ted's is out of Lacey Oaks at the moment, but I will pick them up once they are back in stock. I got the remainder of items at South Side (in north Georgetown by the McDonald's). It is amazing the difference between the various companies as to what they have. Some have great deals on a specific item (mulch, oaks, or whathaveyou) and then deeply hurt your pocket book on other items ($2.00 Lowe's mulch for $6.00 at one local garden center). I saw an $8.00 variance in yellow bells from one place to another for the exact same item, quality and size. It pays to do some driving around and shopping to get the best of all items -- I am just glad this newsgroup has friendly and helpful people. Thank you again! "M&M" wrote in message ...

It must be a terrible responsibility to be an expert on every subject.
"animaux" wrote in message ... I've seen all but Lacey Oak and Bur Oak, Red Oak at all the box stores. I just bought a 5 gallon redbud 'Forest Pansy' for 16 dollars at Home Depot in Round Rock. I have no experience with Ted's Trees, but supporting the locals is always a good idea. We don't have any decent garden centers here in Round Rock.

Smaller trees (1-10 gal. or so) adapt more quickly after transplanting and within a few years will catch up in size to larger transplants. And they're of course far less expensive. Of other nurseries in town, Barton Springs Nursery has the widest selection and best prices I've found on native tree species. Most of my own trees come from there. Nice list, btw. I fully agree with smaller is better. I can also second your Barton Springs Nursery and I find they are even better with plants than Natural Gardener. I've gotten some very wonderful plants at Barton Springs. |

I just moved into a new house and need to start landscaping the place. I live in Round Rock and have purchased 4 trees from Ted's which they installed. Cherry Laurel, Red Oak, Chinquapin, and Live Oak have been installed. My Red Oak looks as though it might have Oak wilt ... its what I feared the most in planting it. I would suggest a Chinese Pistache because of its hardiness and resistance to any diseases. I will be planting one this weekend. Green and Growing in Pflugerville is the best all around nursery I have found in Austin and its surrounding areas. -- effero |
