Ordering trees from the DNR’s State Forest Nursery just got
easier! A new online sales site features dozens of quality native Iowa
trees and an easy check-out process.
Also new this year...
Also new in 2017 are changes to how nursery stock can be used, providing more options to people wanting to order bulk trees:
-
Customers can purchase trees in increments of 25,
compared to previous order minimums of 200 (except for cuttings, which are sold in increments of 50).
-
Seedlings can be used for any purpose, including
windbreaks or decorative landscaping.
-
People who purchase nursery seedlings can resell
them or give them away. Before, state laws dictated that nursery stock had to
be planted by the purchaser.
Order now!
Choose from 20 species of native hardwoods, nine evergreen species and 14 smaller trees/shrubs.
Prices range from $.30 to $1.40 per seedling, and tree species are sold in three size ranges on the site, with the tallest around 30 inches.
Orders can be placed anytime between August 1 and May 31. As
part of the ordering process, customers can choose a shipping window for
delivery – fall shipments begin the last week of October, and spring shipments
begin April 1. Some species are available in only one or two sizes, and may also be available for spring delivery rather than fall.
We hope you take advantage of the Iowa State Forest Nursery Online Store!

The State Forest Nursery provides affordable, quality native plant materials for numerous natural resource needs.
