Can't help ya on the job front, but we are looking for a tree to put in a hole in our front yard.

Wife really wants a pink dogwood or Some
Kind of hydrangea tree?

Any chance you have those? We've shopped all over Tyler and can't find what she is looking for. Happy to buy from an Ag.

Thanks for reaching out. Yes, we do have Pink Dogwood in stock, but don't have any Hydrangea. I also have other flowering/ornamental trees in stock.

I'd wait a few weeks until it cools down to plant, but come and see us anytime and I'll be glad to help you out.

I hope you were able to find someone. I am not a good fit, but I recently moved to Bullard and would like to get some blueberry bushes and grapevines. Do you know if you have the Carlos grapes?

Sorry, I just saw your question. My apologies for not responding sooner. We do have blueberry in stock. Muscadine are sold out until the fall. Thanks.
