Just bought home from buying fruit trees!

[nightshade]

I got mine from big lots for the last two years and they have been great I have a drawf granny smith, bartlett pear, golden delicious apple, wilson apricot, red haven peach and santa rosa plum and they are all loking great and growing extremely well. I have been very pleased with them. I drive past big lots everytime I go to town just to see if they have them yet. (I want a red dogwood real bad)

I wish that they had grannys here I would have gotten two. no dogwoods this year either. They had them last year though.

i went to my nearest biglots.. and they didnt have any fruit trees.. But they did have rose bushes for $3 so I picked up one.. We have a really big big lots here .. I might go check there.. but at $17 I think I can get the same at walmart in a pot here

At our local big lots they were $14 each for the fruit trees and The cheapest ones that they have at our local Walmart are $20 for apples and up for everything else. Lowes and Home Depot dont have theirs in yet as of yesterday.

The biglots here don't have fruits trees or live plants this year.

I'm going to check walmart, home depot and lowe's this year.

Our local nursery wants $75 for theirs.... their dogwoods are $100!!!!!

Ok... I JUST realized I was an ArborDay member and they offer them at awesome prices for members...

Here's that winesap you all were looking for.

Those 10 free are going to be 'twig' size BTW. I found that out.

My order should be 3'-4' bare root trees. If you are a member, shipping is free.... for everyone else its a flat rate of $4.95 for an order over $50 I think?

My order with 6 fruit trees (I got 3 free additional trees with my order) came to $51.60 so I got the extra free trees and of course free shipping. Who knows when they'll be here though... anytime between now and MAY! (Still waiting on my free trees... I joined in December.)

I know they will be small but its a start as I cant afford to buy larger trees. Right now Im in a flat nearly open field, I need to work on some cover. If shipping is free after you become a member I will definitely get more. THanks

That is so wonderful!! I'm so happy for you, you should take pictures of your new babies and post the up for us to all praise I think we are going to buy a couple apple trees this year too, we wont be able to enjoy them though because we plan to move to our farm as soon as we can sell our house and buy a new one, *fingers crossed* a year or two!
