any suggestions on tree sources, in the Interior? (Anchorage, Fairbanks: houses, yard)

[arctichomesteader]

I'm going to be looking for some trees to plant on my land, probably this summer. It's near Manley Hot Springs, so anything from there to the Fairbanks area or close anyways would be best (don't want to go south near the Anchorage area). I'm after apples, crabapples and possibly some ussurian pears and chokecherries. Some place with a good selection (relative I know as there aren't a lot of varieties that'll grow in the Interior) and a good reputation (the apples/crabapples need to have good hardy rootstalk, for example, need someplace I can trust on the quality of the trees). Anyone have suggestions?

I would sugest contacting the local green houses. Not sure of the demand for those. My mom has a choke cherry tree in her yard for years, it bears fruit, but we haven't tried any kind of harvest either. Birds love them though.

Try Alaska Wireless, Alaska Communication Systems, Alaska Internet look for yellow pages and you can do a search of phone numbers etc.
