Hi Susan and David,
I live in Mass. and feel that I should respond.
This is one of the horticultural delights of the area. Woody plants, etc,
large nursery. I didn't even know that the might do shipping.
I bought two kalmias from them about 10 years ago, and they are now 7 ft
high and doing great. At that time I knew that they were in the head market
for kalmias. They are also high on the list for small leaved Rhodies,
having I believe hybridizers, for a long time, in both fields. Mezitt, I
believe, hybridized and introduce through them. They have been in business
forever!
No longer can we purchase large plants there, as the whole nursery field
seems to be purchased out at smaller plants, and the whole landscaping
market has been very good for the past 10 years.
I have not purchased from them in several years, but can recommend them on
their past reputation. There are many nurseries that have grown in the area
that are close to where I purchase.
Hope this helps.
