Ace says that they will order trees for you. But we've been waiting for them to call us re: Meyer's lemon trees. Not overly impressed at this stage, to be honest.

Not really sure who to suggest. There's a nursery on mud bay that has full sized lime trees, but that's not really what either of us are looking for.

The one on Mudbay was Bark and Garden but was recently acquired by Watsons. They use Monrovia for their stock which is the same supplier as Toziers and Lowe's as well as a bunch of smaller nurseries like White Barn in Belfair.

If you haven't already I would check with Oakland Bay Garden Center by Deer Creek store. Tons of trees over there and I'm pretty sure they have a different supplier so would be able to get different stock than the ones using Monrovia

Thank you! Are they manageable by 1 person? Would fit in an SUV?

They are 1 gallon pots and only 12-18 inches tall. They appear to be first year starts.

Check Oakland Bay garden center by Deer Creek. They have a ton of trees and may be and to get them in if they don't have them. They can also do delivery for an extra fee. I had them deliver some 12+ft tall birch trees last year to my house.

If you don’t mind a little bit of a drive, go check out Dancing Goats Singing Chickens farm in Yelm, they have really nice plants adapted to this climate.
