Finding an especially nice specimen is a matter of looking around at different places and checking back often as they get new plant material every week, all season long. I do recommend you check out Lurvey's if you are in the market for plants and trees and compare to other nurserys you like. case of our Japanese maple above, purchasing retail and having Lurvey's deliver and plant the tree would have cost over 3 times as much as my landscaper charged me to purchase at his price, pick up, deliver and plant the tree.
In my experience, if you use a landscaper they can save you some money on the purchase price if they wish, and will deliver and plant for much less money Lurvey's. Lurvey's wants 150% of the retail purchase price of a tree to deliver and plant a tree, WAY out of line, but delivery price alone isn't unreasonable. Retail prices are high but not out of line for our area and landscapers get a good discount. We just purchased a very pretty specimen B&B 7' Empire 1 Japanese Red Maple tree from them at a fair price.
It is often lightly staffed for the traffic, which is frustrating if you are trying to get help with purchase of a tree, but my wife and I have found nice plant material there. Lurvey's is a nice nursery with a large selection of plants, trees, other garden items and more.
