Dan, they came from a guy out west that use to be in the mail order business. Now he just has a wholesale lot. Since I had been ordring from him for so long he will still ship to me. He sends the best sized with great graft unions and wonderfully branched trees.

Kent...You "ain't" a kiddin' there. There's probably more scion wood on one of your "babies"...than there'll be on the 10 gal 'Omurayama' I'm getting this spring. GEEZZZZ.

Do you still pay a "premium wholesale price" or is this guy cheap like Stanley?

Only curious (and happy for you!),

Your situation there reminds me of the lucky folks who bought stock in Microsoft at the get go!

Pretty amazing of course.

Dax, they all range from $25.00 - $50.00 apiece. The good thing is they are shipped bare root so shipping costs are much cheaper than Stanley.
