This(outdoor in-the-ground) tree is the rage this year amongst growers
and it is native to the Southwest USA.

"Carolina Sapphire" should be available around Texas.

Hi all,

I am looking for the best place to buy a live tree I can decorate for t=

holidays, but also keep potted year round. I don't mind getting a larg=

with a dolly to support a 4-5 foot tree eventually. I would like an ev=
ergreen
type, and so far have seen the Chinese pines at some nurseries. Could =
anyone
recommend a nursery where I could get one reasonably priced? I would l=

get a tree that is at least 3 feet right now. I guess I could also try=
a native
spruce, but haven't seen them for sale except as cut trees from local f=
arms.
Are there any farms that would let you dig a small one up?

Any help appreciated - please send privately, too. Thanks!
