I found seeds for it on ebay, and they'll ship to the US! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130195697567&ssPageName=MERCOSI_VI_ROSI_PR4_PCN_BIX_Stores&refitem=130195687038&itemcount=4&refwidgetloc=closed_view_item&refwidgettype=osi_widget

I know I am late to the party, but here goes. I ordered from Henry Fields, planted in march & the bush flowered & had berries that year. This will be my fourth year & I am ordering more plants, because the one I have has had fruit every year. I am going to try "Pixwell", do not remember what the other was called. By fall it was a nice 3 gallon plant. I always buy one gallon, in 3-6 months in the ground it will be 3 gallon or bigger or I will not buy from that place again. I have nothing bad to say about Henry fields, but Rain tree has more varieties. I am getting a "Poorboy" from them. I know people say gooseberries will not grow south of N.C. line. But mine does fine, even with Global Warming.

If the vendor says "own root", that is not grafted ("budded" is the correct term). The bare root vendors typically will say "grafted" or "own root". Most bare root vendors sell grafted on Dr. Huey, except the Canadians, who sell mostly grafted on R. multiflora, with a smattering of Manetti. It is obvious when buying potted at the nursery: the grafted roses will have a large knot at the graft point, and the place where the Dr. Huey was cut off is usually visible. Most roses sold at local nurseries (including the big boxes) are grafted on Dr. Huey, save the Knock Outs (typically own root), and here the rugosas are sold own root. See the photo comparing budded (grafted) vs. own root bare roots in the article linked below. Also, if buying locally, ask, they should know. If they don't know, move to another nursery.

So i have researched the chinese pistache tree and it is incredibly beautiful with its fall/ winter colors...So now my next question is where do you buy one?!?!?! I have been all over town to different nurseries and they all tell me that they either don't know about the tree, where to find it, or even what it is. I looked at moon valley nursery, and even though they are a little pricey, they dont have it and they said that the best they could offer is the Sweetgum tree...So (1) Does ANYONE who has a Chinese Pistache know where to buy one and (2)Does anyone know about the sweetgum tree? Thanks for all of your help! -AZnursingstudent.
