Seedling Sales Have Closed—Lifting Has Begun!
Seedling sales are now officially closed for this spring’s planting season.
Right now, our staff are busy lifting seedlings from the fields. If you’ve placed an order, please remember that orders must be paid in full before they can be picked up or shipped.
Shipments follow the natural thaw cycle, starting in southern Minnesota and moving north.
Thank you for choosing the Minnesota State Forest Nursery for your planting needs!
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.
