I had 4 plugs pulled out of the ground and left by the hole. I assume deer, dangit! Also we need rain! I had it in years back.

I did a search for Itasca and this thread popped up.
I helped the neighbor plant a couple hundred spruce plugs from Itasca this morning. The plugs looked great and are so easy to plant it was nice. I believe I'll start ordering plugs from them. I'm dreading the 250 bare root evergreens I've got coming next week. I bet I could plant 500 plugs in less time than 250 bare roots...and my back wouldn't hurt near as much when done.

I have a mix of plugs and bare root going in. I’m way more excited to plant the plugs! They also keep better in my garage. This cold weather is annoying!

you have to be wrong Honk..... Our govt says its 8.2% inflation over last year. But fuck Biden anyway. it is soothing to my soul though that over the last 3 years I got a grand total of 3% raise. (we had no raises in 2020 or 2021). That should offset any inflations we have seen in the last 2+years. Fuck Biden again.

If the website has current prices, $1.35 for a 10s white spruce plug (per 100 pricing) doesn't seem too out of line?

Has Itasca always had a $250 minimum order?

I remember when the old Lawyer Nursery went to a minimum order amount (think it too was $250). It wasn't too many years later and they went out of business.
I think I'll order a couple hundred spruce plugs from Itasca this year and then...that may be the end of my planting more than a few trees here or there.
