I bought a 5 foot cherry tree (don't remember which kind) at Behnke Nursery. I'll bet that if you can't find what you're looking for there, they can get it for you. They did have a good selection of trees from what I remember. I got pictures of my 2 babies yesturday at the Tidal Basin. Priceless!! The cherry trees are lovely!

I bought a Yoshino cherry tree from Home Depot.The tag reads
"Towering Yoshino cherry Tree". The tree is about 12 foot.The tree has been pruned to grow taller than the average Yoshino tree. I planted the tree 3 weeks ago, about
May 24, 2006. If you are planting a tree now, I suggest
making a bathroom basin shape around the tree.This method
enables the main trunk to drink up more water.

good luck,
james

It will be very expensive but you can get a full grown tree if you like.

I did end up buying and planting one on April 20.

I had looked at Behnke but their trees were too small for my needs, no taller than 5 feet, and couldn't get anywhere near an employee to ask about bigger ones---Behnke's great but they get kinda crazy on spring weekends.

American Plant Food Co (2 locations in Bethesda) had JUST sold out of all their Yoshinos in the 10-12 foot range when I was there. They did have one that was, gosh, maybe 18 feet tall, if I wanted to spend $300---I was tempted but I knew it was overkill.

Fehr Nursery in Burtonsville was where I struck gold. They had bunches of trees, both maybe 10-12 feet and 12-15 feet. I got one of the latter, for way less money than that big one at American, I want to say like $159. Plus, Fehr's trees were in the ground, which was kinda cool, although when my tree was delivered and I went to plant, I found old burlap (way underneath the shiny new burlap that was used to get the tree to me)---so who knows how LONG they'd been in the ground at Fehr. But still!

So far so good, I'm most happy with my tree. It's doing very well, though I have a couple of maintenance questions I've been meaning to post here---that'll be a separate topic when I get around to it!

faerieannette, wow. That's amazing, I had no idea that was even done. Thanks to all for your thoughts!
