Default Re: Reputable nurseries for Zone 7 hardy nanners?

I purchased my first two basjoos from Greenearth Nursery. I had excellent results with quality and shipping. I also purchased two more from Lowe's directly from their garden dept. Prolly Monrovia origin.

I am quite familiar with your area (love the Scablands, BTW!), and I have some recommendations for a drier but still subtropical feel, if I may.

I have successfully combined basjoos with windmill palms, needle palms (bushy, but hardy to -5F), and several yucca species, for a beachy, subtropical look and feel. I also added pilings and starfish which I doubt you can pull of in the Great Basin Desert, but the plants, along with other recommendations thus far, should give you a nice customized look for your area.
