kvnharv29, Just had another thought.... ever think about collecting!

Yes you need permission of the land owner or from your park service for public land, but this is an option! This time of year is great to take a walk on 'Uncle Harry's' back woods or go along the fence line of 'Aunt Helen's' old farm, you can tag the trees for collection next spring.

Yes, you will probably not find Korean Hornbeams or Japanese Maples but you could find various Apple species Honeysuckle and other wonderful local Yamadori. The Best part is you already know these trees live in your climate, and... other than the effort involved, they are free.

Again just a thought!
Jay
