This is a pre-order program that allows landowners the chance to receive tree and shrub seedlings in species that are native or naturalized to New York State. Orders are taken every winter with distribution of trees occurring in April. Each year, the District offers a variety of new species to our sale.

This is your opportunity to improve the value of your property while developing wildlife habitat, minimizing erosion, and enjoying the beauty of the natural world!

What are seedlings, transplants, rooted clumps and dormant plants?  

A seedling is a bare root tree or shrub. We carry one, two and three year seedlings, depending on if it’s a conifer, hardwood or shrub. Seedlings are shipped while dormant, without a root ball or soil, but are covered in a moist material or root dipped to retain moisture.  A transplant is a seedling grown for a year or two,  then replanted to another bed to allow for development of a fibrous root system and more branching. A rooted clump is a dormant rooted plant without top growth. It may not have leafing, but is ready to grow!
