I'd go with the more local nursery. 1. They are within driving distance if you have a bitch. 2. The plants are grown in your area. 3. Go looky at them and bring your picks home. I think I have been disappointed with Starks, but I have ordered from many so I can't be sure. The best one is the one you walk in. We had (and still do but he's more reliable now) a nursery here that sold plants nation wide. He advertised in the magazine sections of the Sunday papers. Paid minimum wage to winos and students in the shipping department. The ads said (for example) a 6" apple tree for $1.00 plus $2.95 shipping. People would send in $12.95 for ten and shipping. They were guaranteed, only shipping to replace them. They were sticks. No chance of growing. Cost was about 10 cents apiece to send them. People would send them back with the new shipping fee and get their old sticks back. He was making a ton on the shipping of dead sticks.
