Seedlings On Sale!
George O. White State Forest Nursery, near Licking, offers Missouri residents a variety of seedlings for reforestation, windbreaks, erosion control, as well as wildlife food and cover. Seedlings are sold by the Nursery through the end of April.
Seedlings are bareroot, 1-3 years old, depending on species. Seedlings are available in single species bundles of 25 for use in Missouri. Seedling sizes vary greatly depending on species.
For areas where a variety of seedlings are needed, in smaller quantities, four special bundles are available. The Pecan Variety Bundle offers landowners four different pecan varieties. The Conservation Bundle is recommended for people who want to add a mix of trees and shrubs to their property. The Wildlife Cover Bundle will improve habitat and food sources for a number of Missouri wildlife species. The Quail Cover Bundle provides plants for quail food and cover. The contents of these special bundles are preselected by the nursery, and no substitutions can be made.
Seedling bundles range from $4 to $28. For more information, please visit the Missouri Department of Conservation’s website at http://mdc.mo.gov/forest/nursery/seedling/ or call (573) 674-3229.
