Interesting, they have Needle Palms.

I wonder if they'll have any Live Oak.

I haven't noted live oak to do especially well in metro atl, have you? Looks like Chinese evergreen oak is the onlu oak on the list. I wonder why. Great selection none the less and I will try to be in attendance.

quirkyquercus-they do have oaks, 11 varieties. It's on the list between the P's and the R's but it's not called Quercus -- it's called "Oak."

I would also like to be there. It will probably be a mighty fine day to spend at the park.

What a fabulous selection, especially of native trees! Unfortunately I cannot imagine buying anything to plant at this time with this drought scheduled to continue.

Thank you very much for the reminder, Razorback. It's an exciting list (tho sadly without dwarf tulip poplars), and I'm also hoping I'll be able to be there.

Esh, I agree with you, but I will be able to establish a couple more very needed new trees to the south and west of our new house with very little extra watering. I'm contouring the areas being planted (shovel style) to hold water and mulched them, and it's working pretty well for the stuff I planted last spring. Thank goodness. Sadly, no lawn seeding or pansies for sure.

I know of a couple of Live Oaks here in Gwinnett County.

Well how are they doing? As you know they are native to the coastal plain and grow in a much different climate and entirely different soil.

I gotta say the selection at this sale was great. They really did have what they said they would have on the list. Although I didn't pick up anything myself it was nice to see there were that many people that are into trees. Too bad they are so far away from here or I would get involved. I find it amazing how the variety of this sidewalk sale was better than any for profit nursery in the area.

Sounds great. I regretfully ended up missing it after all, deciding I'd better just concentrate on conserving what we have until the drought breaks. The new trees, being trees, wouldn't have been right in areas that I'll be carrying water to if it doesn't rain in the next week. We go Monday for wood chips to just cover the blank ground over with instead. Besides, we have to start scraping together money to take down dying mature trees.

QQ, wish I'd remembered you were going ... I think I lost my only male spicebush (lindera benzoin) and I wondered if they them marked there as male/female.

If we weren't in this awful drought (with predictions of more of the same), I would've gone for sure. I'm glad it met your expectations.
