No suggestions, but just wanted to comment that we put in one of the $119 ones from Gertens early this summer. I would never have spent that kind of money, but was picking up several trees and also other perennials so I had a big batch of stuff that added up to a lot. I did not realized until we were halfway back home to MI that the Yellow Ribbon Arborvitae showed up at $119 on our receipt. When we picked it up out in the lot, it was standing right behind a sign that said somewhere in the $55 - $59 range. I guess someone had moved the sign :-(

On the bright side, the tree is looking really nice so far. I hope it thrives for us!
