| I have lusted after them for 8 years and always thought that it would be hard for me to grow them indoors due to space limitations. Now, I have finally decided to take the plunge. I checked 2 local sources and the prices scared me - over $100 for a 2-3 ft tree. I need recommendations for online stores that are cheaper than that. I shop a lot from Logees and Bhatia nursery, but they are not carrying these 2 plants. Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks. |

| Michelia X Alba is hard to propagate, which is why it is so expensive. I think South Pacific in Gilroy, CA sells them for about $90 for a 5g plant, and they also have some 2g plants that are about $70. You sure would pay more that that if you do mail order, but you might find better deals if you are willing to drive down to Southern CA. Three years ago, I bought two 5g Michelia X Alba that were labeled as M. champaca from my local Orchard Supply Hardware for $75 each. I think that is still the retail price for M. champaca plants from Monrovia. Monrovia's M. X Alba, however, usually sells for $150 for a 5g plant. |
