Some do sell to general public. Doug Young is one of those, I believe. 10% over listed price and do your own selection and loading.

Doug young nursery does sell to the public. They’ll give you a price list and a map. You do load your own plants.

Go down Hwy 112 off of i 49 . Plenty of nurseries that sell to the public . Great product at awesome prices . We drive from Alexandria twice a year , bring a big truck and be prepared . Better if you don't bring your wife .

Not sure how the recovery is going, but all of those nurseries were devastated last winter with that huge ice storm. We went in the spring and it was a disaster. Many, many greenhouses were destroyed. The selection of plants was limited. Keep that in mind.

Poole Brothers also sells to the public.

Yes
Dirt cheap
Yes
I took a trailer over from BR and got $1,200 of BR-priced trees for like $250.
One tree in BR was around $250, got it for $35

Went last week and bought a bunch from Youngs. Got everything I wanted for about $200. Same stuff would have cost A LOT MORE locally!

Think so. I know I saw a place selling them for $5 on the highway from 49 to DY's place. Sign on left side of the road headed west.

When is the best time to go to the FH area for plants?
I was assuming early spring, but do they have a big selection year round?
Sorry if it is a dumb question- I've never been up there

Thanks. I lost about ten from last year's planting.

These all survived the freeze, but all they had were 1 gallon when I went this past spring. They weren't real healthy, either. Cheap, but kinda straggly looking.
I ended up buying a bunch (price), but I picked up a few 3 gallon from a local nursery & they were much healthier (and more expensive).

They looked so bad after the freeze she wouldn't sell them to me . I usually deal with Sam stokes and Sam Poole . Easy and cheap . Hawkins has a great product, but the lady is extremely rude and not someone I will ever do business with again .

Stopped at Doug Young Nursery a couple weekends ago and they had 3 gal ShiShis right in front of their checkout booth - I’m pretty sure I saw plenty more on their nursery grounds when I was driving around their operation. .

The best camellia selection and quality you will find anywhere near Louisiana, IMO. For $30, you will get a giant japonica.
