Thank you for choosing the Minnesota State Forest Nursery for your planting needs. We have closed orders for the 2024 spring planting season. Currently, we are processing orders and awaiting the best weekend in April to begin lifting seedlings from the frozen ground.

Stay updated on our spring lifting schedule by signing up for our email list.

Since 1931, Minnesota's State Forest Nursery has provided over 1 billion healthy, native tree and shrub seedlings for Minnesota plantings. With over 85 years of experience, we have developed methods to achieve the best seedling stock possible.

Seedlings are kept in the ground long enough to develop robust root systems and healthy stems. Depending on species, coniferous seedlings are between 2–4 years of age, and deciduous seedlings are between 1–3 years of age when sold.

Every seedling is inspected to meet high standards for height, diameter, root development, and health. Only the best seedlings are sold.
