Just going to move this down.

I had been to Blue Sterling in 2002 and bought a Viburnum Conoy and a hamamelis Jelena. They are all doing well. They do have an especially nice selection of conifers, though. Their prices seems to have been cheaper this year.

My wife and I also went to Woodside and to Blue Stirling last Saturday. We bought a very nice Halesia monticola 'Rosea' at Woodside and are very sorry that he's closing.

We did not buy anything this year at BSN and have a slightly different opinion of the two nurseries BSN has marvelous stuff that is hard to find anywhere else, but I still recall buying a Tsuga canadensis 'Sargentii' a couple of years ago and I haver before or since seen a plant so rootbound in the pot. I had to cut the pot in two to remove the plant and spent an eternity separating the roots before planting. On another occasion we saw a Pseudolarix amabilis at BSN and thought it too expensive A week later we saw the plant with Blue Stirling's label on the pot for $20 less at Marlboro.

Both plants are doing well.

I'm sorry BSN will no longer have an open house, but much more sorry that Daryl Apps is selling his nursery.
