if you are looking for "normal" (non-dwarf, species type) conifers for shade, shelter, and specimens forestfarm.com has a large selection of pines, spruces, firs, and other conifers, etc. for mail-order.

Thank you. I'm looking for any, really...but if I can find grafts which would increase survival for southeast us 7b that would be great!

Woodlander's in SC and Evergreen Nursery in east Tennessee have always provided me with great plants - not saying they have what you're looking for.

The only mail order source specifically offering such grafts is Camellia Forest. Porterhowse had some a few years ago, but not anymore and he acted like it was unlikely more are forthcoming.
There are a couple wholesalers in the Southeast that are starting to focus on this. (and I think this is where David Parks gets his plants) I saw the catalog of one up at Rarefind recently, but I forget the name of it. Ron said "those guys came up to do a sales pitch" so I think we'll be seeing more of this in the next several years. Different category of plant but there are also a couple rhododendron wholesalers in the northeast who are going to start to produce grafted plants. I have mixed feeling about it. Though it will make certain cultivars somewhat easier to grow I don't want to see nurseries use it as an excuse to try to turn rhododendrons into a carefree gas station plant. Which other than the ironclads, they are not and deserve better than that.

This is one of those wholesalers, but I'm pretty sure it isn't the one who visited Rarefind.
IIRC I called him a couple years ago but he acted like he didn't want to send me any plants mail order, and preferred to operate as a wholesaler. But it could be someone else. I should keep notes on this stuff but I don't.
