Anyone know of a nursery in SE MN that carries Doglo or other good varieties of crabs and or pears?

I've bought Apple & Crab Apple trees from Woodstock Wallace nursery in SW WI. They are kind of unorganized but seemingly honest, good, hardworking people.
Most of the trees I've purchased/planted have come from Fedco nursery and Cummins nursery. They both have easily navigated websites. The availability at both of these places is likely a little diminished at this point but I saw some great varieties on good wildlife rootstocks last night.

Jeg, Welcome to our forum. It's a little late to find good quality apples on standard or semi rootstock now. I would recommend buying some B118 rootstock and planting it in your location this year. You could pickup 10 rootstocks for under $4 each. They'll grow into a full size tree with decent apples if yiu let them or you can graft them over to crabs or other apples later on. shop.cumminsnursery.com/shop/rootstocksDobyiu have any apples on your property currently? Any photos? What's your soils like? |

Maybe next year I'll try a half dozen of those. |

I'm ok for this year. I've got enough going on. Appreciate the heads up though.
