Default Local Tree Sources

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!

I have been to Home Depot and Lowe's and I am just not impressed with

their
selection or prices.
