I recently had to take down a cedar tree on my dad's property as it was interfering with utility lines... and in accordance to the City of Vancouver, it must be replaced. My dad would like to get a couple of Japanese Maples, or Ornamental Plum trees because they don't get very big. However, according to the city, they have to be at least 6cm in trunk width, or 3m (10ft) in height at the time of planting. I called a few nurseries like GardenWorks and prices range from $150-$200 per tree.

Anyone know of a place that's cheaper? Any info would be appreciated. TIA.
It's late in the season, but they might still have Japanese maples at Home Depot. I got a 8 ft one for ~50 in the summer.
