Stan;

Try Reeseville Ridge Nursery in Reeseville, Wisconsin

Acer saccharum- plugs $1.00 3 ft $6.00

Fagus grandifolia rootmaker pot $5.00
Thus you can see them growing vs instant shade.

I also wonder where in Chicago area I can get a decent size witch hazel and american holly without sending for them from a catalog company who only carries a tiny size of these shrubs.

I will appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

Check out Possibility Place Nursery in Monee, IL. They are primarily wholesale but do sell retail as well. I have purchased from them and am a satisfied customer.
