Where to buy unmolested trees?

I am from York, actually Wrightsville, right along the Susquehanna, so Hershey is basically on the way home. I am moving to NY at the beginning of June, so I will have to stop in before then.

just a word of caution on trees from evergreengardenworks:
I've gotten a few trees from there, and while they are shipped in excellent condition, just be aware that they sell only saplings. My chinese elm from there was maybe 1 year old, with a trunk thinner than a coffee stirrer. Again, no indication of fault or lack of quality on their part, but their trees are not suited to indoor growing.

(if i am missing an area of their site where they sell more mature trees please let me know!)

Try Jason at Schley's. Good stuff, reasonable.

I don't doubt your description, but a tree that size is the exception rather than the rule. Yes, some species grow quite slowly and if you get the first of a new crop, you might get a tree that small. 'Hokkaido', 'Catlin', or 'Catlin Cortorted' might have been that small or even smaller, possibly even 'Seiju' (although these normally are pencil thick). But fast growing trees, and trees that have the normal couple years on them from our nursery are usually pencil thick or thicker and 12 to 18 inches tall for the 2 3/4 inch pot size, even most of the elms. I am always glad to describe trees exactly upon request. It is difficult to do this in the catalog because trees grow and change. Often our 4 inch pot size trees are as big as, or even bigger than typical one gallon trees that are found in retail garden centers. We do sometimes have one gallon sizes, and you can always inquire as to whether larger sizes or specimen plants are available.

At this point in our marketing, the larger trees are not in the online catalog, but we have literally thousands of specimen sizes, priced individually. If you have any need for a larger tree or a workshop tree, you can always inquire, and I often have exactly what you need. Many forum members have done this. In the future, trees will be photographed and added to the website, but we are probably still six months to a year away from starting that project. The completion of the new nursery has been our priority for the last eight years, but it is getting close!

Thank you for you kind comments on our packaging, we get many compliments in that department.

G'day Chris...

You are "...looking to get an indoor tree...". Near College Park...or not.

Take a look at http://www.fukubonsai.com/for a great selection of Hawaiian "indoor bonsai". They offer four sizes starting at $20...$12 shipping to anywhere in the US.

They are not the best examples of bonsai...however, not bad for starters.

Try them...you may like them. Or not.

wow just checked this one out. great bulk prices. under collections- the green house stater is very tempting. 50 for $150! i don know where on earth i'd put half of them! 10 for $35 is more realistic. fun new varieties!

I've gotten a mature specimen from Brent at evergreengardenworks before. It was damn impressive.

Anybody who wants older trees can email Brent and he'll probably have what you are looking for.
