Depends on how many. For 20 or more, you should look at one of the
Tennessee nurseries. Most all commercial growers east of the Rockies
buy out of Tennessee. Haley and HollyDale come to mind, but there are
6-10 big fruit propagators in that area. I have HollyDale contact
information here:

The most cost effective and probably best type of stock to plant is
bare root. We are past our bare root season here in Texas. You may
not be too late for this year in Missouri. That is, if you get right
on it.
Novice fruit growers tend to buy large stock. Well cared for 18"-24"
stock planted in well prepared ground will surpass larger stock within
two years. And, the holes are easier to dig.
