Don't know of a local nursery that sells them any more. I saw some at a
nursery in the DC area. Many do get diseased and will not respond to
treatment. Having a plant with disease problems may not add to the value
of your property. Instead you may want to consider ligustrum - the big
leafed variety, hollies, such as Nelly Stevens, wax myrtles, chindo
viburnums if there is some shade, osmanthus fragrans, or even the much
maligned elaeagnus. They are all readily available at local nurseries.
Good luck.

Hi Everyone,
I know these are prone to disease but is it really all that bad? I need
maybe 10 in one spot and 5 inan other to create a "fence". We are only going
to live here maybe another 5 years but I want somthing in the works for re
sale. As we are retiring in September I need a quick, cheep fix.
