Looking for a smoketree

August 8, 2009 8:06 PM

Where can I buy a smoketree (Cotinus coggygria) in the Chicago area?

My husband saw this tree at a friend's house and fell in love with it. He wants one for our yard, but I can't find a local garden center or tree nursery that has any for sale. I'm looking for a decent-size tree, not a little sapling. We're in the western suburbs of Chicago, but any nursery that will deliver and plant the tree for us is fine.

Tree price list

There are others on Google, but that is the only one I saw with a tree availability list.

Admittedly, it was a quick scan, so there may well be more.

Oh, I should have read further. I have no idea about delivery and planting.

SLC Mom, thanks. I'll give them a call tomorrow and find out where their "growing field" is. I'll bet they can arrange for planting if they don't offer this service themselves. I'm waiting to mark your answer "best" so that I don't discourage anyone else from answering.
