Other states may have similar programs. I know New York State does; 
trees come through your county Cooperative Extension office. Check with 
your local extension service (I know a lot of states have them, maybe 
all do); you'll probably also find a lot of other useful information for 
either the home grower or the professional.
The information available and the attitude of the agents can vary 
considerably from county to county (ours is great); if you have a bad 
experience on your first try, a neighboring county may be able to help 
you.
