What part of the country are you in? Some fine nurseries (e.g. Bay Laurel,
or Raintree) sell to a national audience & you just need to know a bit in
order to select cultivars suited to your climate. Other equally fine
nurseries cater a specific region (e.g. Lawson's or Ison's for the
Southeastern U.S. or Henry Fields for the Midwest)
Also, check out the nursery listings on the NAFEX.org site. http://www.nafex.org/supply_source.htm
Even though NAFEX takes pains not to endorse any nursery, the listing is a
helpful starting list and suffice it to say that some other nurseries are
absent from the list for a good reason.
