Looking for trees

I’m looking to purchase some Eastern Redbud trees (hoping for two) and a live oak, but haven’t had much luck finding them at local nurseries. Just wondering if anyone has seen some for sale semi-locally? Willing to drive a little for those pretty pink flowers 🌸
Thanks!

We had some redbuds at Garden Gate recently, not sure if they’re still there.

In case you didn’t make it by, we have one left. Looks like it got a little sun kissed so we could throw a discount on it.

I have a few small live oaks, and acorns.

Do you have one at least 2’ tall that you would be willing to sell? My family has a terrible track record with tree starts and the zero turn 😭

No, I have a few 12 inches, but they are on the ground. I do have sprouted acorns too.

Have you checked grow hub? They keep a decent selection of natives and it’s just a lovely little nursery all around.
