Have you tried Groff's? They're off Street Rd. off Rte. 422. I know they sell some shrubs and I think some trees as well.

Hi, yes, I've been to Groff's. They have mostly perennials, a few small trees, and some shrubs, mostly deciduous. Their prices are great and I'd like to find the equivalent , in a conifer grower/seller, if possible.

Conestoga Nursery! More miniatures and dwarfs being stocked. I went today, they were 'semi-open'. Helpers were setting things up, and it looked open but a sign on the door said opening Monday. But there was no barrier in the driveway and customers were coming in anyway. Stock is good, and 4 more truckloads coming Monday, said the owner who processed my payment. I picked up a Pinus wallichiana 'Zebrina' and Thuja plicata 'Whipcord'. Great start. (remember they're closed Sundays and Tuesdays)

Here is a link that might be useful: previous thread with info. on Conestoga, + more

Conestoga is a must. Check their days though. I think it is Sunday and Tusday that they are closed.

Hey Paula...'sbeen a while since we spoke - how are ya...
I was at Conestoga last Friday, yesterday, and again today. Overdoing it?? Nah..good weather to plant, it's cool, rain's coming, brand new stock off the trucks. I got 3 Cryptomeria japonica 'Yoshino's for $22.00 ea.,they're 4' high. Also a 'Duke Gardens' Cephalotaxus, mini Pinus parviflora, a 4' Picea orientalis 'Skylands', a mini Thuja occidentalis globe, and a mini Juniperus squamata.

They're on Rte. 624, just past the Shady Maple Market. Heading east on 23, pass Shady Maple, take the first left (624) Go about a mile and 1/2, they're on the right, just past a bridge.
