That is a nice healthy lookingFK. A very good buy for $35 if someone needs one.

yes they are. this store had 6 or 7
I almost never look at the fruit trees at any of the big box stores around here. Might need to re-evaluate that… though I’m probably not buying any apples, or pears, and certainly no stonefruits.
Was kind of surprised to see Q.falcata(Southern Red oak) at a couple of places this spring, as well as some pretty nice Dunstan chestnut seedlings - and Elliott pecan seedlings (probably not a good choice this far north as it is a FL-origin tree that leafs out early… but maybe the seedlings have a hardier parent).

I made a trip to Home Depot today and looked at their fruit tree selection. The store is in Middletown,RI. They had:
Red Delicious, Yellow Delicious, Gala (dwarf), Barlett Pear, Kiefer Pear, Harmony Plum, Santa Rosa Plum,(1) Montmorency Cherry, Early Elberta Peach and Red Haven Peach. Except for the singleton Cherry tree, there were about four trees of each type and that is it! Barely inspiring!
My Menards had like 10 Contender very early and they were gone in a few days. I almost bought one… I think they were upper $20s… nice trees full of flowers. I haven’t seen anything since that i’d want. Pretty picked over the last few times i’ve been in there. Most years it seems like they get another shipment in later.
