The nursery in ND Lincoln Oakes has Dolgo Seedlings (25) for $85 ?
Thoughts on those.. ? I need a few more crabapple varieties for my CRP windbreak .

Seems like a reasonable price. Nothing wrong with Dolgo seedlings

Check Chief River nursery. It’s been a couple years but I think they were cheaper and they were nice trees.. I got the 12-24” if my memory still works.

My son is actually grafting, so I’m not sure I need them? But I guess it won’t break the bank!

Some are using those cloth shopping bags from Walmart and grow them in the bags. Plant this fall or next spring. You still need to protect them from rabbits, mice, and deer. |

Do they plant them bag and all in the final spot? |

I've also ordered Dolgo seedlings from Chief River and they did great.

 I ran across this picture from two years ago. This is why I like dolgo seedlings and dolgo rootstock. |

   Here are pictures of the fruit from three dolgo (seedling) rootstocks. The one with the largest fruit was originally grafted to Golden Hornet, but the graft failed. I am glad it did!  Current picture of GH. |

I've been checking the interwebs for retail sellers of dolgo seedlings/rootstock. I've yet to find any. You can find them wholesale, but I'm not looking for 25+. I was going to order 3-5 if I could find them for a reasonable price and not pay more for shipping than for the stock.
I contacted Ryan at Bluehill and he isn't sure if he'll be able to source any for re-sale.
I guess I'll just grow out some of my own apple/crab seeds and use those instead.

I put my name on request list at Chief River Nursery and they are supposed to email me when they have dolgo seedlings available. I usually order a pack of 25 to get the lower pricing, but I don't need all of them and can send you some assuming that I'm able to get them at some point. |
