Joe, I'd suggest you consult with other California
arboretums for many of these, also suggest looking at
San Marcos Growers, Rosendale Nursery, Monterey Bay
Nursery, Suncrest Nursery for leads on some of these.

I have a general question for everyone, how do you do
plant searches to find growers of specific things?  I
tend to do it manually by consulting what
catalogues/old arboretum lists,(such as for Strybing),
that I have in my home library.  Is there a way to do
this through the web, that gives good results?

David Feix
