Does anyone know of any websites that sell trees/shrubs that are not too expensive. I'm going to be ordering host plants.

Hey, what's up Frankie. Naw, there all too expensive when all cost are measured. It is best to buy or trade locally.

You can also collect seeds. Seeds are the best value once you learn to evaluate a source locally or trade online.

Ebay has got a lot of good deals, and actually there is this one plant place, that had Aristolichia tomentosa, on ebay that I couldn't find locally.

Originally they weren't on ebay, but then they got wise, and got ebay.

I remember, because there was some old hens I heard clucking. They clucked "I can't believe that ------ ----- --- is on ebay." You see that is the way that hens are. Lots of scrathcin' lookin' at the dirt, and mostly cluckin', and not alot of time involved in higher thinkin'.

Check the Seller feedback on ebay. Most are reputable.

Mail Order Natives is good. Shipping costs are lower because they ship bare root plants. A lot of good nurseries are listed on our FAQ page here. Check it out.
