My community is my nursery...
Every so often I drive by a great tree that's in a vacant lot or poorly utilized place, and I wonder if the owner of that property would be willing to part with the tree in exchange for a small fee.
Had I pushed I probably could've gotten my hands on a beautiful 20' Amur Maple, but extracting it seemed like it'd be a lot of work.
Has anyone ever done this? Approached someone you didn't know to ask about buying a tree on their lot? If you have, did you offer them a price comparable to what a nursery might charge (less any subbing out of a tree spade truck)?
