Seedling sales have ended.
Seedling sales have officially closed for this spring’s planting season.
Right now, the ground at the Nursery is still frozen. Once it thaws, we’ll begin lifting seedlings and will notify you when your order is ready. Seedlings must be paid in full before they can be picked up or shipped. Shipments follow the natural thaw cycle, moving from south to 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.
