OT: Looking for Dwarf Chinese Holly Shrubs in Metro Atlanta

nolan8v

I thought I would reach out to the forum members since there are quite a number of Georgia residents.

I am in need of help locating Dwarf Chinese Holly shrubs in Metro Atlanta and surrounding Counties.

The Scientific Name is Ilex Cornuta "Rotunda" and can grow in full or partial sun.

I have been trying to find roughly 20 to 30 of these shrubs and am striking out.  If any of you know of a place that may have some in stock, I would really appreciate their info so I can call them.

I am interested in one or three gallon shrubs.

Thanks in advance.

Too bad Roger the Shrubber isn't local to ATL, I'm sure he would be able to help.

Have you hit one of the few remaining Pike Nurseries?? They've ordered stuff for me in the past!

DaveRichardson

Where in Atlanta are you?

I've tried the pike Nurseries and am striking out with them. Their main supplier is Monrovia. Monrovia is no longer growing this species. 

Here is a link that can provide more info:

I'm not sure if this was a species that was specific to Monrovia. I've also contacted several nurseries in New Orleans and surrounding Parishes but they do not have access to this shrub.

DaveRichardson,

I am in Tucker, GA. Less than one mile from the "Mothership".

However, I am willing to travel or arrange shipping if I can find this shrub.

DaveRichardson

Ok. I'll check with some guys down on my side of town.

Thank you very much!

DaveRichardson

I've left a message with my local nursery whose been in Jonesboro for over 40 years... I'll let you know what they say!
