Pine Trees -- holy S@#$ they're expensive??

[doctorragamuffin]

Hey ya'll,

Looking for pine trees to create a screen b/t me and my funky, white trash, fire-department-calling-on-me neighbors (can you tell I'm bitter?). They've actually got some fine, tall, full pine trees of some type in their yard, so I'm thinking I might like something like that. Went to Lowe's today, just to price some stuff. Wow. A Colorado Blue Spruce is like $70.00 for probably no bigger than 10 gallons?? Now, I KNOW a CBS is a nice tree, and the trees they have aren't CBS's anyway, but wow, anyone know of a good place that might WHOLESALE these things? Oh, and I don't want to buy one that will be 10 feet tall in....15 years. I'm looking for some that are already somewhat tallish??

How much can I expect to PAY for a pine tree, anyway??

If it's any indication, given that I'm at the opposite end of the country, but
everything above 1 gallon is expensive here ...
(did you do a web search for prices?)
