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!
Plan ahead for seedling sales opening Oct. 1 by checking out our 2026 tree seedling inventory.
Minimum order is 300 seedlings. You can mix and match species in increments of 100 to reach the minimum quantity of 300.
