Depends on the size. Buy from a local nursery for larger potted trees. Buy via internet for small or bare root trees. Here is the old standby: https://www.arborday.org/trees/

I got an apricot tree from Stark Brothers. Good prices and selection. Only ships in fall or spring if I remember correctly.
Blooms like crazy in the spring until we get a late freeze. Haven't got any fruit yet, but it's my fault for wishing for better results from incorrect placement.

I bought a mountain ash from the Arbor Day foundation, just fine.
This spring I bought dead twigs from them.

stark brothers is where i got all mine. probably a dozen apple and quite a few mast producers. the only ones that did not live were cherrys, but i don't think that was the trees fault. i could not keep the damn worms off of them and i planted them too far away from water source to keep them watered like they needed. some of my oaks i planted within the past 15-18 years are 12-16 inch and 40 or so feet tall and producing like crazy. and the squirrels moved up the hill and planted a bunch for me.

In AC, we used to get trees from the Elmore Nursery in Minnesota. Don't know if it even still exists.

Last spring I bought apple, pear and cherry trees from these folks and the prices were right and trees doing well. https://www.c-onursery.com

It used to be Big Lots. They'd get the big 12' varieties of apples, peach pears, etc and on the 20% friends and family weekend sale. Final price $10 BUCKS!!!A poor man can afford that. Any of us can get a small orchard started and in a couple years have free fruit from then on.
That's it! No better price on quality 2+ year trees. They quit carrying them, but if we all call & email corporate office now and until spring, I think that would be a good incentive for them to sell again. Who's with me?
