Where are you buying trees?

Where are people buying their trees? The issue is that trees cost quite a bit of money and I am looking for a new place to purchase larger quantities of fruits, legumes, berries and such. In the past I have purchased the 25 tree bundles from Lawyer nursery in Plains, but unfortunately they have closed. Last year I was even lucky enough to get 20 seaberries.

Any place around Missoula, MT to buy wholesale? Thanks. I want to start a 2 acre food forest and wanted to find a good source.

Qty bundles from: Forest Ag
Least expensive route would be to buy seeds or cuttings, great place to do so: Twisted Tree
Seed savers exchange has a number of listers for seed and cuttings: Seed Savers

If you can find mature trees you are looking to plant, cuttings and seed could be gathered from them.

Awesome. Thanks for those. I wanted a huge amount of seaberry especially for a hedgerow next year and was so sad to see lawyer nursery close

Why don't you check out The Official Permies Seed and Plant Source Review Grid to see where your permie friends have bought plants

If you have nurseries that you've purchased from before that you'd like to review and have on the grid, there are tutorials for making a review (it's not that hard)

Arbor Day has some decent prices, but I wouldn't suggest them anymore. I've had some decent success, but too many trees I ordered have struggled or died. Their selection is not great either. I will say that their peach trees have done very well for me. I planted four, three made it; two grew four feet in the first year, one grew 6.5'.

Kentucky has a state nursery with good prices on native seedlings. That's a possibility for a good source of rootstock and nut trees if Montana has something similar.

You can check out https://www.fedcoseeds.com/trees/ but definitely have them send you their tree catalog and their seed catalog. It is excellent reading and art. "We are a cooperative, one of the few seed companies so organized in the United States. Because we do not have an individual owner or beneficiary, profit is not our primary goal. " I've worked here and it is a wonderful place to work.
