I used Rarefind Nursery and got great plants.<br /><br />Hi Tina, Certainly worth planting! Hope you plant it.<br /><br />Hi Ginger, push push! ;-) Don't think you will be sorry.<br /><br />Hi Sweetbay, me too! Great tree!<br /><br />Hi Rose, I know this one will work for you! Sent one to my sister in Kansas. <br /><br />Hi Catherine, Isn't it a wonderful tree? <br /><br />Hi Gail, Sorry you lost one to drought, it is time to get another. <br /><br />Hi Les, Thanks, I like this photo too. Jim likes the retusus because of the glossy leaves. Personal preference. I like how the virginicus blooms hang. <br /><br />Hi Randy, thanks! I impress myself sometimes. Ours blooms the first week of May/end of April.
