Looking for 15 gallon.
Halloway’s in Forest Hill has them for $60 and they deliver to BR for about $20. That the best bet?
I’m not too familiar with Clegg’s and LA Nursey pricing but I know they can be high.

BUT... Spin off from my other thread.. I can’t for the life of me figure out what trees to plant on the side our house.

Have to grow in shade.
I want 5-8 feet tall off the bat and 15-20 feet and full at maturity.
Don’t want to spend over $60 a tree.
I don’t care about flowers or not

Someone suggested it.

I just want three trees and don’t want to spend $100 each in getting what I want.

But I don’t know what to get

Those are gorgeous but require full sunlight. I need one that grows in shade

Check with Larry Bates Nursery in Forest Hill. Camelias are the only thing he grows.

Jap. Red Maples fit your description but price may be an issue. I knew a place that had them for $75/per but they recently retired.

Nursery Festival is coming up soon, I'd suggest ridding up and shopping around.

They can't be doing that for 3 trees though. Maybe a truckload or they're throwing it on with a multiple delivery drop.

You might could find an American Holly, Eagleston Holly, Dahoon Holly in a 15gal that size.
