Don't know if any of you tree buffs are visiting the nurseries this fall, but I did today and the prices are approaching reasonable. I know it's getting late in the season, but the weather's so nice, I think there's still time to plant. I bought a 6 gallon potted American Sentry Linden and a Swamp White Oak. I'm contemplating planting sites now and will plant Saturday. I'll start soaking the ground tomorrow. It's mighty dry!

I also bought a 3 gallon Austrian Copper rose, one I've wanted to try for a while. I'm pushing it on that one, but am willing to baby it this winter.

I think the nurseries could use the business. I was the only customer at Picadilly at lunch. The owner told me they were doing ok, but people were disheartened after all the hail and just aren't planting much this year. Bummer!

What are you guys and gals up to?
