Can anyone recommend a catalog that you have gotten quality trees and shrubs
from? I am located in the South. GCS

If you're in the New Orleans area, you can have 2 adolescent deciduous oaks (15
feet high, about 6 in. diameter, nursery price $400-$700) for trade or a much
lower price if you dig and fill. One of my neighbors, a man of 50 in good
shape, dug one out with a shovel in about 45 minutes.

I think that might be Musser Forests :-)) Another excellent mail order
source is ForestFarms. A google search will produce their websites. Neither
are located anywhere near the south but will ship anywhere in the country.
Have you tried any of your local nurseries? They will have a selection of
plants most suited to your local environment. While they may very well be a
bit of a drive away, that offsets the increased costs of shipping and you
will invariably get larger plants than you could by mail. Unless you are
looking for something that is uncommon and difficult to find, it often makes
more sense to patronize and support your local nurseries.

Musser forests: www.musserforests.com -- (maybe no "s" on the
end) I ordered some trees from them a few years ago and they did
NOT do well in our summer heat (even though their USDA zone says
they grow here). There ARE wide differences between the species
born in the northern part of its range and the same tree from the
south.

Forest Farm is www.forestfarm.com. I haven't ordered yet. The
catalog is MUCH more extensive than Musser's, and is actually fun
to read. I have a friend who works for the SODS office of the
USDA (Maryland) who recently ordered from Forest Farm and she was
happy with the result. This company is in Oregon so I most
likely would have the same problem.

Here -- http://www.floridaforest.org/landowner_nurseries.shtml --
is a link to a list of forestry nurseries in North Florida and
South Georgia. I have dealt with Florida Lands & Timber (in the
past) over the course of several years when I worked for
Florida's environmental agency and we gave away seedlings for
Earth Day every year. They have a fair variety of trees, and
most are natives of the Southeastern US. However, you cannot
just buy ONE tree. They sell packaged bare-root seedlings; I
think 25 is (or was) the minimum order per species.
