I looked up local spots but there is quite a few in Chicago and surrounding areas. Can anyone share their favorite places?

I was there a couple weeks ago or so, nice collection of refined trees, but he told me no nursery stock til early summer. Whats been your experience buying there? I'm interested in juniper species for the most part.

Some of the best wild collected trees in the Midwest.

Nursery stock I am not as a familiar with in the area.

By nursery are you looking for pre Bonsai or nursery similar to home Depot?

My try BC Bonsai.

Well, yes but everyone seems to agree that a good nursery tends to have better stock than the big box stores. My experience with home depot. lowes, etc. has been trees / shrubs with pencil-thin trunks, and bad branch stucture
