Cindy,
My bad memory can't come up with the nursery's name but I have friends who rave about the owner & nursery that is right on route 3 in Plymouth...The name begins with a T or S...ahhhhh it's driving me crazy. If not there you might want to call Sylvan's and see about pre-ordering.

I went out this morning and took some photos at my local nursery of some Malus that I fell in love with last season. They stand no taller than six feet and certainly have artfully been pruned over many years. This of course makes them a costly item $800.00+ each, after I scraped my chin up off the ground it was suggested to me by one of the employees that I just buy a young sargent malus learn to prune artfully and the ten or so years will fly by. I wonder now if these pictured might in fact be lollipop? I would really love just one. kt
