We will send you an invoice or give you a price quote over the phone (your choice).
For orders, a 50% deposit is required to initiate propagation.
You can make an appointment to pick up your trees from us, or we can ship your trees to you.
Reasonable Prices
Our goal is to give you the best value and highest quality for your money. Our price structure reflects costs, and enables us to keep prices down wherever we can. We also offer substantial quantity discounts. Consulting and other services are offered separately to help you save money on trees. We don’t think you’ll find a better value anywhere.

Plant sizes
All sizes listed in catalog are approximate. Since we are not a producer of a manufactured product, we are unable to make any adjustments for size discrepancies.

A Note on Weediness
If choosing from our selection of nitrogen fixing trees, please keep the following in mind: many nitrogen fixing species are well adapted to harsh conditions, grow vigorously and can seed prolifically. Selection of less weedy species can reduce the risk of spreading. Responsible management for the life of the project can also forestall weediness. Also, consider using pioneers already present in your area before introducing new species.
