Hiya Mike,
This is a place in Algodones actually called Tannenbaum's. Here's their
website: nmtrees.com (no www in front). They have a pricelist there too.
I'm planning on getting most of my xeriscape stuff from Salman. Their not
cheap but nobody seems to have the selection they do, in terms
of xerics.
Thanks much,

Out of curiosity...who is the nursery you are using out there. I used to
buy
some (expensive) stuff from Salman / Santa Fe greenhouses in town, and
there
was another guy way down at the base of town just north of the interstate
that sold volume. This fellow would cut great deals to us when buying in
quant., so I think there is plenty of wiggle room in whatever pricing he
gives out. He also used to sell a bunch of (poorly) wild-dug plants.

Mike,
Thanks a million for the inputs. The nursery that carries these said
their
primary client is the
city of Albuquerque. Now usually that would be enough for me except,
well
this is Albuquerque we're talking
about. Anyway, your vote of confidence gives me reason to give this
tree
a
chance. I will be able to water
regularly so that may just help. I just need to figure out how close I
can
plant them now as I want to put two trees in
a fairly small area. Thanks much for the help!!!!

I ran the grounds Dept. for a college in Santa Fe for a time, and we
had
numerous Fraxinus pennsylvannica on campus and in town. They do OK,
but
will
scorch in excessively hot, dry summers. However, I rarely thought of
this
as
a real problem as the species is pretty tough.
More importantly they seem to be able to handle the concrete that
passes
for
soil in the area. I would not shy away from the species, especially if
you
are in a position to water it occasionally.

I cannot speak to the heat resistance of the cultivars you mentioned.

Good luck...

Hiya,
I've found a local source for some Ash trees that are much larger
than
the
typical nursery offerings and at what I think is a reasonable price.
They
have several varieties but I have a concern on one of them. I'm
looking
to
put an Ash tree into my yard. They carry the plain Ash,
(Pennsylvanica
Fraxinus I believe). I live in New Mexico where the summers are
hot,
dry,
and sometimes windy. I have heard that the pennsylvanica doesn't
handle
heat well and will actually burn in hot temps/wind. Unfortunately,
they
don't carry Raywoods, Marshall's, etc... Anyone have any inputs on
whether
the Green Ash would work well in my enviro?

Thanks much.
