The Arboretum itself sometimes sells them at the big annual plant
sale in the spring. I bought one from them 3 or 4 years ago.
And in nearby Pasadena, two nurseries sell them almost every autumn:
Burkard's and Hortus, both on Orange Grove Blvd. (However, I've only
seen them at Hortus this year so far.)
