   We'll have a 2-4 species for you to choose from at pickup!  The trees we plan to have are:

   • Black Oak
   • Kentucky Coffeetree
   • White Pine (seedling, 6-12")
   • Balsam Poplar

   You'll be given instructions for planting at time of pickup, or you can review them in full on this linked PDF.

   PRE-PLANTING CARE: 

   Plant seedlings as soon as possible after receiving them, keeping roots moist throughout the planting process. Exposure to sun and wind can kill a seedling in a short time. If necessary, mist or sprinkle tree roots with water to keep them moist. Do not soak roots in water for an extended time as the moisture retaining soil particles on the roots will be washed off, and the trees may drown. “Root Dip” or other water absorbent/retention materials may help conserve moisture in dry weather. 

   If you cannot plant immediately, store seedlings in a cool, shaded location for up to 7-10 days, misting or sprinkling roots with water each day. If storing a large number of bundled trees, avoid poor air circulation and heat build-up by not stacking bundles in layers more than two bundles high. 

   If planting is delayed more than 7-10 days, dig a trench in the soil in a shady area or corner of the garden. Place seedlings in the trench and cover roots with soil. Keep them evenly moist. 

   PLANTING: In general, overcast, cool, still days are ideal since evaporation and moisture loss are reduced. 

   • Spring: Plant in the spring as soon as possible after the frost is out of the ground. Plant seedlings  by hand, using a planting bar, shovel, spade or other tool. Refer to Figures 1 & 2, Page 4 of the PDF linked above. 
   • Dig a trench or hole deep and wide enough to permit the roots to spread out in a natural uncurled position. This helps avoid "J" or "L" rooting patterns, which occur when the hole is too shallow. 
   • Plant seedlings in a vertical position with the root collars approximately 1” below the soil surface to ensure adequate coverage of the roots with soil. 
   • Firmly pack the soil around the roots to eliminate air pockets. Place seedlings in the middle of the prepared site to ensure maximum distance from competing vegetation. 
   • To facilitate planting, long roots may be pruned to 8" in length from the root collar, using a sharp knife. 
   • Seedlings may be planted in nursery beds until they increase in size. Plant seedlings 12" apart, control weed competition and provide water as needed. Transplant them to their permanent location after 2-3 years in the nursery bed.
