Native Tree Inventory

General Information

3 gallon (3G) trees are $19 in any combination. Orders placed after April 1, 2011 3G trees will be $19.40 in any combination. All trees are root pruned, staked and straight.

This inventory is primarily for three gallon trees. There are just a couple of species that are in 1 gallon (1G) containers and that is noted in their additional notes. Please see seedling inventory for smaller, less expensive alternatives.

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.
