Great Nursery Sale You Should Know About

[Guest guest]

If you're in the market for trees or other plants or had been thinking about it and suffering from sticker shock, you should know about this.We are redoing the landscaping in our yard--big project--trees coming down, yard leveling, resodding, rock retaining wall, etc etc. In the market for some BIG trees so that I wouldn't have to wait until I was 90 for the trees to be taller than I am...Last Sunday we stumbled across KARAM NURSERY on Redlands Road in Oregon City. Big sign out front:50% OFF ALL NURSERY STOCK[They've been in the nursery/landscaping business for over 30 years.]STOP THE CAR--in the rain, wind, miserable day. Who cares. Good sale and I'm am Oregonian.We bought some beautiful mature Japanese maples (green, coral bark and lace leaf) for a ridiculously low prices.One really large green leaf Japanese Maple--3" diameter/caliper trunk with big muscular branches and beautifully pruned canopy. Had been $300 (already a good price)--bought for $150.Two 'smaller' green leaf Japanese Maples about 2" diameter--actually really big trees--had been $120, bought for $60 ea. These are tall trees. Maybe 10-12' tall?? A coral bark maple (Sangu kaku) w/ 1.5-2" diameter trunk , about 10' tall, beautiful vase shaped and nicely pruned tree--had been $200. Bought for $100.An erect lace leaf maple--1.5" diameter trunk, probably 9 ft tall, graceful, erect trunk--had been $300, bought for $150.We also bought some beautiful climbing hydrangea. I think they were $30 and we got them for $15 each.They had a lot of other nursery stock, including some incredible Bloodgood red Japanese maples that were HUGE--$600 trees, very mature and beautifully shaped, so now only $300.We stopped at another nursery on the way home and even a 6 ft spindly little Japanese maple was $100-150.Fruit trees, beeches, various shrubs. Very nice folks to work with.I'm guessing once the nice weather gets here that 50% sale sign will be nowhere to be found.
