My family and I went to Dirr Nurseries for 15+ years and last year there were hardly any trees. When we talked with them, we understood that 2019 was their last season. You may want to confirm if they are still open this year.
Thank you, Jen. I will check that out. I appreciate the “heads up”!
I just googled Dirr nursery and it said they are closed for the 2020 season due to COVID.
Thank you, Theresa. I will make that change.
