I'm not sure how far you are from it but Stark Bro's nursery www.starkbros.com is in Mexico MO and has just about any type of fruit tree there is. We bought our orchard trees and Black Berry plants from them. Must have picked over 60 pounds of berries this year.

@microchick thanks, i was looking for someone I could pick up from,they are over 5 hours away . I have had bad experiences ordering trees online, they always grow but aren't always what they say they are. I am very far Sw, literally just a couple miles from Arkansas.

Speaking of Arkansas I think I just thought of a place! It's crazy how the mind works.

Wow that starkbros website is really overpriced. The exact same trees from the arbor day foundation, same size same everything are literally half the price without a membership.. with a membership the trees are 1/3rd the price.

Yep, not cheap but quality plants and their shipping is dependable. They send the plants wrapped in wet packing and the trees, while bare root, generally do well coming out of dormancy. I haven't ordered anything lately. The only trees I have had problems with is hybrid apples and pears and that problem was fireblight. No fault of the trees other than not being resistant enough and the rain in our area being above normal in the spring.

I'm betting the Arbor day trees are two foot tall at best upon receipt, please correct me if I am wrong as that is the size of the trees the Mo dept of Conservation sells annually.

Guess it all boils down to what you want, what you want to pay and how long you want to wait for it to produce.
