I don't think there is any nursery involved.  The Park Board has a big 
enough need to trees & other plants that they grow their own, instead of 
buying from a commercial nursery.  The nursery is located in the west end 
of Wirth Park, as I recall.

So there wouldn't be any warranty involved, either.
