A friend of ours has died and instead of flowers I want to buy a tree (lasts longer and is very eco friendly) obviously...but I do not know where to get one. I live in the middle of no where...Gunflint Trail, grand marais, Minnesota. We have a florist but that is it. Duluth is the closest big city. Does anyone know where I can find a tree or maybe on the internet...I can not do one that is too expensive, I also like burning bushes. Please help!

I think a weeping cherry is the most beautiful tree around. It flowers pink in the spring, then looks exactly like a weeping willow. I think it is very prophetic. Doesn't need a lot of water, and you can probably get one off of ebay for around $30 delivered.

Burning bushes are invasive, so you may want to avoid them because when you are no longer around to control it, it will be a problem for someone else. How about a cherry, or magnolia, or even a small-fruit crabapple, with the amazing flowers and then lots of singing birds around it. They have them at the Duluth nurseries, which are here http://www.google.com/search?q=duluth+mn+tree+nursery
If you buy on the internet you'll wait FOREVER for it to be big enough to look at.

If you want to look into the state of Minn. dept of nature resources. they would give you a tree for free. and suggest a type for you as well. hope this helps
