Based on how much I already spend at Tucson nurseries, I'm almost hoping this is a poorly run, short-lived, species-deficient nursery!

Almost.

Oops, meant to post this is the Arizona Gardening forum...please don't lynch me!

MITS,

You mean you've already outshopped Miles2Go, Greg Starr's Agavemporium and Arid Lands? You rock.

Must say I have not...have you :) Just saw that they had recently opened shop and was curious if anyone else had been by and asked more questions than I though to...

Nope - I can't have that kind of collection anymore, as I'm not there enough. But I did bring a few up with me that were at Greg's....

Jeff.. Too Funny!!! ROFL! If I were to ever outshop the ones you mentioned, I'd need 5 acres! :)

I've been to Arid lands 3 weeks in a row now, and need to figure out where to put everyone now! LOL!
Can't shop with nicer people! :)

Hope to get out to see Miles soon!

I haven't heard of Greg Starr's Agavemporium.

Melt in the sun~ i haven't heard anything about it. Neither has hubby and he works up that way.

Jojo and MITS,

Well, all I can suggest is get thee thither.

You'll find some wonderful plants and an even better plant master. Just call first to ascertain availability.

Here is a link that might be useful: Agaves Are Him

And you'd be doing your part to support local merchants, eh?

Whan I was in Phoenix I had a blast, didn't buy that much only about 10 plants and two books. Norma

MITS,

I don't know if it still exists, but there used to be a nursery next to Miles2Go's spread - I think it was called Tanque Verde Nursery.

So, since Norma brought up Phoenix, do y'all know of a listing of Phoenix C&S nurseries?

The best collector's Nurseries for Cacti & Succulents are:
- Arizona Cactus Sales in Chandler (www.arizonacactussales.com)
and
- Shady Way Gardens in Apache Junction (www.shadyway.com)

I've only been there once, but Baker's Nursery (Phoenix) is also pretty well known.
