Hello Bobbi,
If I am remembering correctly.... the sourwoods came from Pineview in
Litchfield, KY. The Winter King hawthorn is to come from Eagle Creek in Indy. We
really have had to shop around to locate decent shrubs and trees. Finally ended up
ordering some from catalogs this fall as well. Viburnums we have not been able to
locate around here came from Beaver Creek, along with double blooming oakleaf
hydrangea. Also used Roslyn up north. please with all... especially Beaver Creek
(he sent 3 gallon size upon request).
