I have been VERY happy with Turkey Creek trees. They offered to replace one that didn't make it...even though it wasn't their fault....and I didn't even ask them to. I know many of you guys are further north than I so you need to worry about the hardiness zone... I think Turkey Creek will also grow trees for you under contract if you are looking for something they don't have. I pestered the shit out of them about tree selection and they have been a lot of help. TC trees are from Nebraska I think.

I will agree in that it can become addictive...and fruit trees are certainly a $20 tree in a $20 hole....meaning the caging, weed mat and care that goes into them for best results isn't always cheap.

Yes they are a commitment!!! Every apple I plant gets a 4x4 weed mat, a 16 foot 6 inch wire fence (50 foot cut into three pieces), four posts, and a tubex on the trunk. And some watering if its a dry year. But when you get to the point where they're producing apples and the deer are checking it every night, its worth it.

I will check some of the sources that you guys mentioned.
