Claire, the name was K & W Greenery and here is their website: http://www.kwgreenery.com/

We took a different route to Kenosha to visit my hubby's grandfather, and passed this place by sheer luck. Normally we drive a different way, but we wanted to stop at a brewery in New Glaurus to see if they had a beer we liked. They didn't have the beer, but I didn't care after I saw this place! Hubby was getting kind of punchy by then but I insisted that we had to stop. He went to look at the fruit trees and I wandered until I found a table OVERFLOWING with dwarf and mini conifers. I'm used to seeing about the same four Iseli minis at every nursery in town, but I swear they had at least 20 different things. Really reasonable prices, too, many things under $20. They must have given me a special deal on the ginkgo, since the pot was broken (it was really splintered, but I didn't see any damage to the tree so that didn't matter to me). They had a gorgeous dragon's eye "something" (didn't remember the name) but I didn't have room in the truck for it. I'm definitely going to make a special trip up there next May to see what they have at the beginning of the season.

Here is the first of a few pictures I took this afternoon of Ginkgo biloba 'Green Pagoda' in its new home.
