where can I buy Thuja Green Giants in/near Columbus?

I absolutely love this hybrid and it make a great fast screen for unsightly things (like my neighbors). Its hardy to zone 4 so I have no idea why I can't find it in local nurseries. We tried Oakland and they don't even have a supplier. They get several species that are close but grow in a very narrow, formal fashion - not what we want. So does anyone around Columbus have these or know where you can get them? Thanks for any suggestions.

I am pretty sure that I have seen them at Lowe's in past years-- As much as I like to support the smaller businesses, I can't complain about the quality of the plants I have gotten there. I have also gotten good healthy trees at Strader's and Darby Creek nurseries. I had the problem of wanting trees to screen but could not grow too tall because of overhead wires. I called around to every nursery in the phone book till I found one who had what I needed.

Acorn Farms, a wholesaler in Columbus, just got 20 6/7' Green Giants in today. One of the local retail nurseries should be able to get some for you.

Here is a link that might be useful: Acorn New Arrivals

Hey thanks. We didn't think Acorn was getting them in but according to that list they've got em! We're calling Oakland today to see if they can get them. 20 doesn't sound like very many especially since we want 10.
