Great advice.
I actually drove by the Balzac Nursery a few days ago and thought it might be a good choice. I don't mind spending extra to get a more mature tree, and would actually prefer to do so. My main concern was paying $250 for a tree when the same one could be had for $200. I've seen some really good types at Parkland Nursery in Red Deer, they have a nice selection, but I've heard they are VERY expensive. I like the Swedish Columnar Aspen to go between houses, but I'm still trying to decide on some decorative trees, maybe an apple/cherry/pear tree. I like the look of the Mayday trees as well.
The poplar trees are bad for roots and suckers, but also for the white cotton in the spring and the yellow sticky buds?
