Order seedling trees and shrubs

The 2018-2019 Seedling Order Form for the George O. White State Forest Nursery is now available online at mdc.mo.gov.  You may order online, by mail or by fax.  The Vernon County Extension Office also has a limited supply of order forms.  No phone orders will be accepted.

These seedlings, grown by the Missouri Department of Conservation, are sold to persons desiring to make conservation plantings.  Plantings may be made for such purposes as Christmas trees, the production of wood products, wildlife food and cover, windbreaks, erosion control, nut production or beautification.  Pat Miller, Agronomist, urges cooperators to place their order for trees as soon as possible because reservations for trees are made on a “first come, first served” basis.

The time you place your order not the delivery date — determines your priority for reserving trees.  So, to be sure of getting the species desired, order now.  Trees will be delivered by purchaser’s choice of one of two methods:

1. Free shipment by commercial carrier at the date of purchaser’s selection.

2. Purchaser may pick up trees at the State Nursery near Licking, Missouri.

Pat Miller suggests that people planning to make large plantings request free advice from the Missouri Department of Conservation Forester or Wildlife Services Biologist for their area.

University of Missouri Guide Sheets: How To Plant Forest Trees, Before You Order Tree Seedlings, Planning Tree Windbreaks in Missouri and Mechanical Tree Planting are among those available at the University Extension Center in each county or online at extension.missouri.edu.
