Hi all! I'm looking for local nurseries in the southern tier of Illinois or the tri-state region - eastern IN and KY or sw MO. Wanting to find some heirlooms are heritage trees to add to my parcel of land. If you are a grower or know one, please share. Thanks. Have a great 2022.

Have you checked with your state's department conservation for trees?

If not, you might try this one:

Thanks Ann, both IL and MO are pretty much sold out of stock. I only want one or two of a couple of different fruit trees but not from a big box store or the online big sellers. Trees of Antiquity also out of so many and were as early as late last summer. Just curious about any small nurseries or farm supply places that MAY have some for sale that I can order. I will be cloning my elderberry bush that came with the land. May have to wait another year to put in the orchard. Sigh...
