The biggest thing to watch with buying trees (like Ford mentioned) is buying trees and shrubs that are hearty to this zone. A lot of places sell trees that do really well in BC, but not here. The biggest thing is the chinooks - trees that survive in Edmonton, might not here.
Also, stay away from Poplar trees (usually goes without saying). If you like the look of poplar, go with Swedish Columnar Aspen.
All that being said, I have no clue where to go, I just pick this stuff up from my gf who used to be a landscaper and now works in seasonal at home depot.
