tibetan cherry trees
 

greetings, anyone know where in virginia or maryland one could purchase
some tibetan cherry trees? having a difficult time finding them.

thanks!

are you sure they are called tibetan cherries? In your area, coastal
virginia, I would expect either taiwan cherries, or yoshino cherries to be
the flowering cherry trees of choice.

Michael Dirr says 'Very difficult to find commercially but worth seeking.'
If *he* says it's difficult to find you know you will have problems
locating it. Growit.com, which is a good source for contractors/nurserymen
for wholesale suppliers, doesn't even list it.

I note forestfarm.com has it in 5 gal. size:

Yes, forest farms has a great reputation. I've ordered personal stuff from
them several times, but it would never be profitable for me to use them as
a primary source for material-- their prices are pretty steep *but* the
depth of selection is really impressive.
