Dear Friends,

This year’s catalog features over 50 species, with a few different choices from last year! Our seedling crop is growing very well and we have more than 2.5 million seedlings available.

We have had to raise the price of the seedlings to cover higher costs on everything to do with growing and packaging them, but the UPS shipping is now included in the seedling order total.

Our online catalog continues to be very successful. Communicating electronically allows us to save postage and provide you with order confirmations, planting instructions, shipping notices and receipts quickly and efficiently.

We will continue to sell hardwood seedlings in units of 25 per species so you may mix and match to suit your needs. Hardwoods can be ordered in units of 25, 50, 75, 100+ etc per species. Conifers can still be ordered in any multiple of 50 per species. Their smaller size and uniformity makes them much easier to handle and package.

Whether you are a new customer or have been buying seedlings from us for many years we truly appreciate and thank you for your business. We strive to provide you with high quality seedlings and excellent customer service at competitive prices.

Sincerely,

Richard Garrett
Nursery Manager

P.S. If you are not sure which species are right for your needs, please call your local forestry office. They can answer questions about site conditions, species selection and financial incentives you may qualify for.

P.P.S. We may not be able to ship to all states. Some states in the South and West have plant quarantines and/or specific rules about shipping live trees. Also it is just too far too ship live trees beyond the Midwest, we would not be able to guarantee their survival.

P.P.P.S. We continue to provide UPS seedling delivery to your door, the shipping fees will be included in your order total. Your order will be shipped in March or April depending on your shipping address. Sorry but we can not accept order cancellations after March 1st. Your credit card will be charged during March.
