Source for Sourwood trees in Maryland?

13 years ago

Hi there, I'm landscaping my cousin's front yard and I thought a sourwood tree would be great out front for them as a specimen but it's not what you would call your most common tree..anyone know where you could get one in Maryland? We'd rather not like to order a small-small one in the mail- my cousin would probably like one in the 4-6 range already- an actual tree if that's possible. Anyone know any vendors that might have it? I work at Valley View Farms in Cockeysville and I know or am pretty sure we don't have it.

Thanks!

I picked up one at Behnke's in Beltsville 5 or 6 years ago. They have a broad selection of trees, so likely will carry it.

Thanks for the names guys! I'll have to ask why we don't carry them at Valley View, probably because we're close to the road, I've heard they don't like exhaust fumes.
