Just went to a place and they were like 8 feet tall and $150. Just seeing if anyone know where they sell them smaller and cheaper.

Richmond Tree Stewards does a big giveaway in October: https://richmondtreestewards.org/tree-give-away-2022/
There’s several others in the fall geared toward native trees where you can get a few for free or very low cost.
The Dept of Forestry also has low cost saplings. (Edited to add link for Va DoF: https://www.buyvatrees.com/?s=Dogwood&post_type=product)
I’ve had great luck with Virginia Native Plant Swap on Facebook also. Might be worth asking there as well.

/u/lucasjackson87 If you're ordering a bunch to get past that $100 free shipping (or you almost get there but don't want one more), I could use an eastern redbud so maybe we could work out a coordinated order?

I ordered some trees and shrubs from them several years ago and the one I let mature for a season in a pot faired way better than the ones I stuck in the ground. Just a tip for anyone looking to do this!

I’ve bought several saplings from them and all were a bust…except for the white dogwood lol. It’s still going strong and I love it

A friend who works for Virginia DOF says: "ask your local DOF forester if they have free trees through their warden tree program. They may have dogwood."

Maymont is having their annual Herbs Galore sale on April 29th - a vendor there will likely have some. https://maymont.org/calendar/herbs-galore-2023/

Grow you own from summer branch cuttings. Use root hormone and put them in super rich soil they will be ready to plant next spring.

See what's up in Charlottesville. Charlottesville Dogwood Festival/parade is usually in April and C-Ville Dogwood foundation will set up someplace and sell small cheap dogwoods. They're usually like $30 or something like that.

If you're a Henrico resident, Henricopolis Soil & Water Conservation team does annual free sapling giveaways of Virginia-native flowering and fruit-bearing trees! All you have to do is show up, show them your ID, and pick out 3-5 saplings to bring home.
They usually hold this in late March or April. I haven't seen an announcement yet on their Facebook page, so I'm guessing this year's giveaway event will be announced soon.
