Leaving aside Chalet, Lurvy's, and Pesche's, which I have already
checked (and they do have some good deals), are there any great "end of
seasin" plant sales worth driving to that you know of? Up to 90 minute
drive from Chicago would be ok. Must have decent stock left to choose
from, and rock bottom clearance prices! Thanks.

that's gonna take a long time. Yer what 50+? You'll be into getting SS
checks by the time it's 4 feet tall.
Just drop the 100 bucks and get a six foot one already pruned.

Not necessarily. Iąd not look for seeds but in the spring look for
seedlings. Transplant away from the mom maple . Looking about may
produce a surprise of a 3 or 4 year old. This gift usually away from
lawn mowers and cultivated beds. Chose on leaf and structure and be
ruthless. In five years +_3 a tree 2 or 5 feet may appear in your
nurture area.
We have about 10O about but we been doing this for 30 years.
Bill
PS Problem is what to do with anything over ten feet. Yet another
reason to like low growing spreading types. We love fine leaves and
full moon leaves.
