Okay, need somewhat local nursery/tree farm recommendations. I am fully willing to drive a couple hours, perhaps more if recommendations are high enough and the prices are reasonable.
With the little chunk of land I now can say is mine, I'm more willing to invest substantially more into trees. Any Indiana/Southern Michigan recommendations...or NE Illinois or perhaps NW Ohio??
Looking primarily for various apples (Dolgo, Liberty, Enterprise, Sundance, Yates, Arkansas Blacks) but may consider Pear and a few Oaks perhaps.

Call Vallonia Nursery. I just got 100 persimmon tress for 35ish bucks 1 812 358 3621 The state has some good trees at a good price down side most are hardwood or pines they do offer some beery type bush/shrubs another down side its a 100 at a time of that kind of tree they have a few called a wildlife package were its a mix of trees. Best deal I have found for pears apple trees and the likes is lows rural king menards at the end of the spring selling season most are marked way down but you have to stay on top of it they go fast |

I used Century Farms or Cummins .... been so long I cant remember exactly which one. Pretty sure it was Cummins. Spoke to them a few times explaining what I wanted and what my environment was and sort of let them be my guide. Trees were shipped bare root by UPS so the distance was no big deal. I got multiple varieties of apple and pear. www.centuryfarmorchards.com/www.cumminsnursery.com/ |

Looking primarily for various apples (Dolgo, Liberty, Enterprise, Sundance, Yates, Arkansas Blacks) but may consider Pear and a few Oaks perhaps. Might want to consider adding Crabapple trees to your list. My Granddad had several growing on his property and they seemed to always have a healthy crop of crabapples.

I am a fan of their site and information and free shipping over $99....definitely gonna give them a call for some details and such but thanks man! While they don't have exactly the mix I want, that is what future years are for as well! I hope to get into buying rootstocks and learning to graft as well so there is that. |

As a matter of fact Parrot as soon as I hear back from them on a question (and get a check I have incoming) I'll be placing an order. Thanks for the heads up man!
I really like their columnar style ones that stay narrow and short...perfect for at the home not the hunting plot, wife will appreciate that too (bonus)!
