Cedar Trees

[tracker]

Those things must be tough. We planted around 200 of them along some bedding areas this year and it looks like 90% of them have survived this hot dry year. I went out expecting the worst

Can you recomend a good place to purchase cedar tree's? What type do you buy?

State of Iowa Nursery, good stuff, good prices too.

They can sell out of a given species in a given year too, so place your orders early.

Those things will grow fast and anywhere.

I dont see Red Cedar on the list of evergreens for sale on the state of Iowa site. Anywhere else that is a good place to get them? Am I just missing it on the Iowa site?

I just checked too and I also didn't see them. Huh?

I have this vague memory now that there may have been a problem, disease or something like that, that they had last year for red cedars. Maybe they don't have any to sell this year...

I just order some from cherokee county soil and water conservation district. They will be in next spring with local pickup. the consrvation district does this for a fund raiser. If nw ia pick up is ok maybe try them.

I should have planted those. I planted 250 Norway Spruce trees. I gave up watering them at the end of June.
