Any good nursery where I can buy a large tree?
So I am looking to buy a larger tree and pay for delivery and for having it planted by the same ppl. Any recommendations for a good source?

Deciduous or Evergreen ?
Any particular type of tree ?
And how large are you thinking here
Cuz large is a relative term
6 feet, 10 feet tall, bigger ?

Nice trees WHEN THEY ARE HEALTHY

The fruit attracts me the most. Black Knot is that common? Feels like saying don’t have a child because they might get cancer...sometimes you have to take your chances.PointsHubby wrote: ↑ Nice trees WHEN THEY ARE HEALTHY
But a huge disaster if they get Black Knot Disease
(Which happens to so many in the Cherry line)

Cuz of this ... my best advice is pick something else
Tell us what attracts you to a Cherry Tree (is it the fruit or the blossoms )
And maybe we can suggest something else

Moving and planting larger trees combined with the cost of the bigger tree itself.

Also, there are a select few that are self pollinating, but for the main types of cherry trees you would have to plant at least 2 to get cross pollination going unless you already have another compatible tree nearby.

Stevens has only native trees it seemsSubjectivelyObjective wrote: ↑ Moving and planting larger trees combined with the cost of the bigger tree itself.
Maybe you'd be best just going to a Sheridan or Tree valley or whatever nursery is close to you and seeing what they have in stock.
You can usually find a maple ~12-15 feet tall in a pot/bucket for maybe $4 or 500, and then pay $50? for delivery and then plant it yourself. Not really hard to move or dig a hole.
For something like Stevens, they won't be able to plant if for you because their truck/spade won't have access to your backyard. Probably need something you can dolly into the backyard without too much effort. So long story short, you might be able to get a slightly bigger tree and pay someone else to do it, but it will probably be double the price of the option above.

Yes, it is common, and the tree eventually succumbs. And it looks hideous until then. I don't recommend that anyone get a cherry tree (or anything in the prunus family) unless they live in the country and none of their neighbours have these trees. https://www.torontogardens.com/2009/04/ ... -spp.html/

The tree was a mature bloodgood - about 10 feet tall - was around $1200, install/delivery was around $400 (Milton has CLAY under soil so I am not going to break my back digging). I did pay extra for warranty as the soil around here is really bad, builders basically built on crap.
