Every plant on this only $6.97 each!
This is whack-a-doodle crazy! I just fat finger typed that list of plants that I am selling for $6.97 each this weekend and I am blown away and questioning my own sanity. Selling these plants at $6.97 each is insane asylum crazy! Seriously.
It’s not right to take advantage of my craziness, but then again you’d be crazy not to. No point in both of us being crazy!
If I’m not here, you know the guys in white coats got me.

Plug that into your GPS thingy.
Hours? We’re open most days unless it’s cold, rainy and just stupid out. If you get there and the gate is closed, just call me. My number is on the gate.
Questions? Come and talk to me face to face. I’m the old cranky guy in bibs. Come early, I get extra cranky in the afternoon. Park out back. Drive past the outhouse, past the donkeys and park by the orange tractor.
Phone? My number is on the gate in case I’m not there, but I don’t answer questions over the phone. I hate phones. I like to speak with folks in person. I don’t even go in the office. Ever! That’s the truth.
These plants are going to fly out of here. Just grab mama and get in the dag blamed car. It’s a nice ride, it’s fun place. And, my neighbor Richard also has plants! Richard and Donna are great people be sure to check out their stuff. It’s easy, we share the driveway! Park once, shop twice!
I am beyond passionate about these plants. An old guy in bibs shouldn’t get all emotional over a pretty flower but I do and it’s embarrassing! That Brother Stefan Hosta, man is that thing pretty! And Mini Skirt Hosta, can’t stop looking at it. Maybe it’s the name. I don’t know.
Finnegan and Fergus, our miniature donkeys, are waiting to greet you!
Questions, comments, mean things to say? Post them below and I will respond.
Mike do you still have Pink lemonade blueberries and Green giant arborvitae?
Jill, I do.
See you soon mister!!!
Mike, How do I place an online order for your plants and cuttings? Specifically Japanese red maple tree cuttings and other privacy and sound barrier cuttings?
Thanks,
Jose C.
Lake Elsinore, CA.
Jose,
I don’t ship any plants at this time.
Mike, How do I place an online order for plants and cuttings? Specifically Japanese red maple tree cuttings
Will you be open today 10/3 and how much inventory do you have left?
Sean,
I have a ton of inventory left and I’ll be around today from 10am til about 1:00 pm.
Are you still open 9/19-9/20? When do you close for the season?
Britt,
We’ll be open this weekend 10 til 4 on Saturday and 10 til 2 on Sunday. During the week we should still be open at 10 most days and a couple of more Saturdays for sure.
Mike, do you have an e-mail subscription list. Could not find one on your Home site. Seeing all your gorgeous plants and reading your advice makes me want to move from 100-plus degree temperature in 8a/7b zone East Texas to Ohio. Really enjoy your site and videos.
When you ship out of state, are the plants bare rooted on in soil/pots?
Do you think Annabelle Hydrangeas will survive the 4-month scorching summers here? And if so, will they take our hot sun or will they need shade?
Thank you.
Ann,
At this time I do not have an email list for my nursery and I do not ship plants. Annabelle hydrangea are pretty tough and if you keep them watered they might work for you. I honestly don’t know for sure.
Mike,
Do you still have Annabelle Hydrangea?
Thanks.
Joan,
Yes I do.
Thank you. Will surely stop by.
Do you have dwarf pine trees ?
I do not.
Hi Mike, I am a member and some time ago I wrote for advice on how I could control the pesky
squirrels that decimate the persimmons on my tree every year around this time of year. However,
I never saw an answer–maybe I missed it.
Yolanda, see this https://mikesbackyardnursery.com/2013/08/how-to-keep-squirrels-away/
Do you have azalea trees? Colors and price please. Looking forward to seeing your place

Sam,
No, I close up at 5:00 pm. I get up at 5:00 am so that’s plenty enough for me.
Do you have pink dogwood trees?
Grace, I do not.
I am looking for the hosta that has the completely white leaves that fade to the green. I think it goes by white feather. Do you have it by chance. I think it might be a fall plant season. But I need them!!!!
Sorry, I do not.
Do you have any Japanese maples? If so, what type, how big, and how much?
Renee,
I had a bunch of Japanese maples ranging in price from $149 to $199 and sold the last one a couple of days ago.
My daughter and husband and I want to come up today. But it might be rainy. Will you still be able to show us stuff?
Cindy,
Rain or no rain I try and stick around until 5:00 pm. Come on up.
