I'm in East Peoria Illinois. zone 5. 4 wooded acres. the property line is a low spot and very wet all spring. clay type soil. voluntary cedar seems to do well but they are so slow growing and thin.
next door is a car repair place. people get towed there, and abandon their cars when the cost of repair is to high. it takes a few months to legally deal with them. It looks like hell in the winter when the leaves are off. unfortunately my house is higher so I need 10 to 20 feet tall not to see over.
I want a LOT of trees delivered. not beautiful or perfect yard trees, just a lot of dense evergreen type to plant in a staggered line along my 300 foot wooded boundary. as such they will only get morning sun due to existing 40' trees in my wood line to the west. I will thin it back as much as I can to make room for the new trees.
I had heard I should find a east coast nursery and order rouge trees or something like that... the unsalable split trunks etc..
I would like about a hundred of them by truck.
any recommendations who to call?
thank you
