I just came up from mowing through the old orchard, and there are a bunch of trees that will be fire wood, So I figured I might see what some young trees might cost me to replace them, odds are I will never see fruit from them but maybe the next guy will. JEZUS JUMPIN KRIST!!!!! Talk about sticker shock, I dont have a problem paying a fair price for things, but 60 to 70 bucks for a 4 /5 foot bare rooted tree is a bit much. A tree that may or may not make it through the winter. If I still had the green houses in place I could pot them up winter them over and plant in the spring. I know the price of everything has gone through the roof and farmers are having a tough row to hoe , but dayum I find it hard to spend over a half a G for a half dozen trees

Daughter bought a couple in the Summer for quite a bit less. She bought them at a local Walmart.
