From reader Bruce:
I live on the west side of Chicago and was hoping to buy a ginkgo tree from a local nursery for our yard. I found a nursery that sells them, but their trees cost about $570, which is to me a bit unaffordable. Do you know of any Chicago-area nurseries that sell ginkgo trees at more affordable prices?
Well, Bruce, I don’t, but I’m hoping some readers will. We’d love to hear from you in the comments.
I made my first visit of the year to Lowe’s last week and noticed a young ginkgo tree there for $59. That’s the price range in which I found ginkgo trees available from several online nurseries. However, what you can buy locally might not be available online, as those trees are probably sized for shipping. Was it a large tree you were looking at?
