Hi All,
I live in Portland OR, US and for the last month I've been calling around the local nurseries here looking for a crabapple, Columnar Siberian Crabapple, Malus baccata 'Columnaris'. None of them has been the lest interested in helping me, all of them want only to sell their own stock. What really grates is that this tree is one of the only 3 crabpple trees listed as acceptable by City of Portland for planting along the street. (ie: street tree) You would think the local nurseries would have it.
Anyway, the only online source I have found is
I have found it in a Canadian nursery, but I would have to get paperwork from Dept. of Ag to import it, plus arrainge shipping through customs.
If anyone could provide any pointers I would be very grateful.
Thanks, Ted
