as to fruit trees suppliers.. you might want to ask in the fruit forum ...

as to trees.. it might help.. if you told us what kind of trees you are looking for ... and in what size ... etc ...

also.. where are you .. if you want to discuss if fall is proper ... some trees prefer spring ... like oaks in MI ...

also ... now is the time to talk with nursery managers.. to order in stock for spring delivery ...

on some level.. it sounds like you want to order everything from one supplier.. in bulk ... and i bet that will limit what you can buy .. as not every seller specialized in every tree ..

I edited my original post with some more detail. I guess I'm used to the big online nurseries and assumed it would be a one stop shopping type site that would be recommended.

Check NativNursery (Mossy Oak) in Mississippi.

Hi Dyrne, Did you consider one of your local plant sales? I understand that you are in Kentucky. Many of the natives that you seek are sold at this sale on September 24. You might consider the equivalent in your area.

I like to go those plant sales, I usually go to the Mobile Botanical Gardens fall Plantasia sale. The prices can get high though if you need a large quantity.

I like Mail Order Natives. Reasonably priced and I've gotten nothing but very healthy plants from them in the past.

I think I have made an order with Mail Order Natives just about every year for the past decade, always great plants. It seems this year they're sold out on a lot of items for some reason, and their selection isn't quite what it used to be.

About five years ago I ordered 100 Metasequoias from Musser Forests. Think they all leafed out. Gave away ~90 of them at work. One is in my yard now. Two others still in pots. They offer more typical trees also.

I have also made bulk orders from my state Nursery. Think it was 25 Cornus floridas. I killed most trying to graft lol.

Missouri's State Nursery begins accepting orders Oct. 1st. You can buy as few as lots of 10 per and they're dirt cheap. Great seedlings I've always gotten from them. You won't get your fruit trees there but you'll get everything else on your list if you order early. They sell out quickly!

dyrne, I doubt very much that you will find the fruit bearing trees at any time other than the late winter/early spring.

This place has a good selection of trees for wildlife (and humans):
