case of our Japanese maple above, purchasing retail and having Lurvey's deliver and plant the tree would have cost over 3 times as much as my landscaper charged me to purchase at his price, pick up, deliver and plant the tree. In my experience, if you use a landscaper they can save you some money on the purchase price if they wish, and will deliver and plant for much less money Lurvey's. Lurvey's wants 150% of the retail purchase price of a tree to deliver and plant a tree, WAY out of line, but delivery price alone isn't unreasonable. Retail prices are high but not out of line for our area and landscapers get a good discount.
We just purchased a very pretty specimen B&B 7' Empire 1 Japanese Red Maple tree from them at a fair price. It is often lightly staffed for the traffic, which is frustrating if you are trying to get help with purchase of a tree, but my wife and I have found nice plant material there. If overgrown, can be renovated by cutting back hard immediately after flowering.Lurvey's is a nice nursery with a large selection of plants, trees, other garden items and more. Flowers on new wood, so prune in late winter to early spring if needed.
Watch for leaf spot, fire blight, powdery mildew, root rot, aphids, leaf roller and scale.
In late spring to early summer, a profusion of small, flat clusters of tiny white flowers cover the foliage of birch-like, dark green leaves. Noted for its dazzling foliage, Spiraea betulifolia 'Tor' (Birchleaf Spirea) is a compact, rounded, deciduous shrub with multi-season interest.
