That’s a wrap!
Our 2025 seedling sale is officially complete! Over 3 million seedlings were distributed across Minnesota and are now taking root in their new homes. We’re already preparing for our 2026 sale, which will feature a brand-new ordering system designed to make your experience faster and easier.

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.
