Bit more affordable nursery for Arborvitae and fruit trees?

9 years ago

I am going to order some Green Giant Arborvitae and other trees from Arbor Day foundations. But those comes bare root 1' tall. Those will be good for long term, but I do need some Arborvitae more immediately at 5'-6' in size. Looked at nursery next to me, and we are talking cool $100 for each. I need about 10 of them, so dropping a grand on it is not in my budget.

Any value priced nurseries around Boston I should check out?

Don't know the variety but I saw arbor vitals at BJs last week. For about $30. They were as tall as me.

I'd stay away from Arbor Day, they've gotten pretty awful reviews on the site where people report on their experiences with mail order nurseries. It may be an old wives tale, but most people on this forum think we can't link to that site, so I won't try. You could google nursery reviews or something similar, and look for the garden watchdog in the results.
