Looking for big trees
I would like to buy a couple trees. Thinking maple and/or cedar. I want something about 20-25 feet tall as I don't want to wait for them to grow. I will get smaller trees for the other spots.
Anybody know of a nursery that sells big trees?

Re: Looking for big trees
Big trees now or big trees today
about 3 miles south of Hillsboro on First street ( old Hwy 219, now called Hillsboro Highway I think) Left hand side as you are heading south, just after the turn to Merriweather golf course.
Hope this helps

Re: Looking for big trees
I hope you understand what a tree like that will cost and the equipment needed to move and plant a tree that size. I have been in the nursery biz for 10 years and have moved trees up to 50' and it is a huge undertaking. A tree that size can cost lots of $$$ also. Good luck.
PM me if you need help finding the right tree. I'll send you in the right direction.

Re: Looking for big trees
Sauvie's Island has an outfit that does that. Head downstream from the bridge, forget their name. They are near the school. Like 3"-4" trunk size. Or talk to Paul in scappoose, of stump be gone and affordable tree service. He should know some one with a tree spade and trees in the area. Like JD says, its a lot easier to plant little trees and wait.

Re: Looking for big trees
Spade trees. Some of the commercial landscaping jobs I have worked did this.
There are several nurseries in town that provide the service. Expect to pay around $500.00 per unit.

Re: Looking for big trees
Forgive me if my information is dated . . . it used to be that, if you could find someone to transplant large trees, much of the expence was due to their wanting to be able to guarantee a successful transplant and make a reasonable profit. And, many didn't have the modern equipment. Don
