Where can I find small Desert Trees (1 gal or so)

I'd like to plant some desert trees which will grow and eventually give filtered shade to my veggie and flower beds. I'd really like to find some small ones to transplant. I prefer small ones anyway, I think they establish better, but I really can't do much digging since I'm still recovering from a broken wrist.

I tried the Desert Botanical Garden and Baker Nursery since they are nearby but no luck. I know it is probably getting late to plant the trees. Any suggestions?

We could pick up some trees for you when we go to the nursery if you'd like. I know we have an order getting picked up early next week. If you'd like, give us a call on Monday to discuss. 602-296-4796.

Hi all- I would like to order some Cornish X next week, but would prefer to have my mother in law raise them in Prescott rather than in Phx. Anyone know how Cornish X will do in cooler weather up in Prescott? Jay

So I cooked the first of the rabbits we processed last week. Fried it like chicken. What went wrong is I have never fried chicken and I cooked it too long resulting in rubber rabbit so I popped it into the crockpot for three hours and it was divine…

I was just reviewing John Jeavon's book How to Grow More Vegetables and in it he mentions planting Mexican marigold (Tagetes minuta) for controlling nematodes.
