Proper tree planting requires a lot of decision making. One of those decisions is which species and which age is the most appropriate and cost effective to plant. The Division of Forestry’s reforestation program would like to take some of the unknowns out of that process by giving landowners and property managers an early peek at what the Wisconsin state nurseries anticipate having available this fall.
This list is preliminary, as it is possible that some species will be added or subtracted depending on health, growth, and several other factors as the growing season begins to wane. However, most of these trees and shrubs listed will be available to purchase on the first Monday of October (October 1, 2018). Here is our seedling sales page.

The vast majority of seedlings produced at the Wisconsin state nurseries originate from seed collected in Wisconsin from native trees. From the tiny, pepper-like seed of aspen to the large, husky black walnut, the DNR reforestation staff at the nurseries collects, cleans and stores hundreds of pounds of more than 30 varieties of native tree and shrub seed every year. While we are able to satisfy some of our needs, we rely on members of the public to collect for us as well. Learn more about seed collection on this DNR web page and in the 2018 Seed Collector’s Newsletter.
