Leaving aside Chalet, Lurvy's, and Pesche's, which I have already
checked (and they do have some good deals), are there any great "end of
seasin" plant sales worth driving to that you know of? Up to 90 minute
drive from Chicago would be ok. Must have decent stock left to choose
from, and rock bottom clearance prices! Thanks.


It's a bit late for end of season plant sales in the Chicago area,
nurseries are already into balled and burlaped conifers for use use as
X-mas trees and then planted, after Xmas plant nurseries will close
until spring.

Not for digging and transplanting tree. As long as you can work you soil it
is OK to dig trees all winter.
