Native Tree Inventory


General Information

 


         

  • 2010 Inventory will be finished in late June.  Use the listing below to determine which species we have and approximate numbers.
  • Three gallon trees (3G's) are $19 each in any combination; seedlings in flats are $3.25 each
  • Questions or orders may be faxed to 740-943-5068, phoned to 740-815-3230 or emailed
  • Seed source data for some species is known only from the state of collection.  For other species in which the county of collection in known we've listed them as being from a particular region of the state.  For example, seeds from Hocking County Ohio would be listed as SE OH, southeast Ohio.
  • If you have seeds that you'd like us to grow for a special project we would do our best to get them germinated and grown out.
  • We're particularly interested in species with a high coefficient of conservation (CofC) and obligate wetland species.
