There are something like 20K members so there's alway s people in there and it's fast and very accurate. If someone guesses wrong someone else will correct them and you'll have a consensus opinion in a few minutes, unless you are looking at a very obscure plant in a very exotic location.

Try OrangePippin.com for apples and pears. They have much more detailed descriptions than most nurseries.
There are a lot of different forums with experts on a partular plant, like Bananas.org. I saw a great discussion on ID'ing nut trees. I think it was at Daves Garden.
