"Pure" Washy Filifera

[NBTX11]

Does anyone know of a nursery in the greater San Antonio area (or even Austin) where I can get a few small PURE Filiferas 3 to 5 gallon or so.  The reason they must be pure, pure, pure filiferas is I will be taking them to my mom's house in North Texas and planting them in her yard.  That area is zone 8a at best and sees teens every winter.  Winter low there is usually 12-15F or so (-10C).  Robustas aren't hardy there, and Hybrids are probably somewhat iffy.  She lives in Wichita Falls, about an hour NW of Fort Worth.  Most of the big boxes and other nurseries around here sell hybrids or robustas.  PURE filiferas are harder to come by, and I don't feel like visiting 10 nurseries to find some.  Thanks.  I happened to luck out and find some at HD that I planted in my yard, but those are gone.

Tad, do you supply any to any nurseries around here or know where I can get some.  Thanks.

not in 3 gallons, bigger stuff yeah, but not little canned stuff.

all we have right now is seedlings, this weekends planting stripped us bare on washie one gallons.

I am going to restock with liners on monday but they are robustas for fall planting.

if you cant find any local i can get some and have one of our vendors drop them to you.

I have a couple of guys coming and going right now that run the I-35 corridor.

Did you think about a cross? I thought those can take even lower.

Thanks, I'm gonna check on a couple local guys first and see if they have any.  If not, I'll let you know, appreciate your help.  The reason they have to be small is I have to put them in my trunk, when I load up the car to go up there later in the month.

Filiferas are the most hardy, then hybrids, then robustas (least hardy).  filiferas are SUPER hardy, to the single digits F, in the right type of dry climate.
