Each year we offer some of the staple species and rotate other species in, providing a variety from year to year. We focus on native tree and shrub species but may have some hardy non-natives such as lilac and crabapple.

• A specialty pack is usually offered (hardwood pack, fruiting pack, flowering pack)

• Native flowering plant kits are also available in a couple of different habitat type kits. A kit consists of six 6-packs of 6 different species, 36 plants in total.

• Native seed mixes are available in 2 different habitat types as well.

Planting Equipment

 

Tree Planting Bars - Several planting bars are available for hand planting. These bars are available first come, first served.

Tree Planter Rental - The tree planter is not recommended if planting less than 300 trees. This machine makes light work out of a backbreaking job. The tree planter has its own hydraulic system to raise and lower the trencher. The tree planter can plant up to 5,000 trees per day.​ It runs on a large 12 volt battery (not provided) with post hookups. Contact Eric Mattson to reserve date of planter rental.
