| 10 to 15 ft, we can spend a about $100-200 per tree. I dont no how much trees go for but we need some for around our house. |

Are you sure that you want a "larger" tree. I have been told that when you buy/transplant a larger tree, what you get is what you see now, not an improvement in your future landscape.. The smaller transplant, someties even one growing from seed, will likely establish better and outgrow a larger one.
I kinda think that I believe that. I do know that five years from now seems a lot longer than five years ago.
Take care.

| Have you called around to tree farms? The caliper of the tree will determine the price, and not the height. |

A brand new nursey, Tuscan Nursery, in Saginaw has some good size and good looking bur oaks. Those where the best and my favorite trees there. Probably 10- 30 gallons.

| I went to a bunch of Nursery's lately. Looking for a good price on Native Trees. All were very competitve in price. I started to look at the contanier stickers and found a bunch that said Grown By Tree Town USA Ben Wheeler TX. I typed that in to my trusty computer. BAM. Tress. I just found this today. I am going to call them tomarrow and see if they sell to the public. It doesn't say if the do/don't on there website. So I went to my barn where I save my saved containers, and I bought one of there Red Oaks about 3 years ago from a local dist. and it is doing great. I hope this help you and me. |
