Some of you can recall from one of my newsletters that this is L. E. Cooke’s last season. They are closing after this year. We have been getting our grapes, cane berries, some fruit trees and numerous shade trees from them. Hopefully, Dave Wilson will be picking up some of the slack but it will be impossible for them to do it all. If you are planning on needing trees in the foreseeable future you might want to think ahead and buy this year.
We sell bare root through February (into March/April for late-emerging varieties) and pot up the remaining for sale through the year. We do the same with the Dave Wilson order.
Here is our 2019 order from Dave Wilson Nursery
