Bare Root Tree Seedlings

[smithhunter1975]

Hello All, you may have seen my earlier post about a large scale tree planting project on our family pasture farm. It appears I ordered way too many trees for this project and thought I would offer them up to you all at a discounted price. If I don't sell them I'll find a place to plant them on the farm, just a bit overwhelmed right now. I just picked these up from the Iowa State Nursery yesterday so they are very fresh. Prefer to sell all together because they are stored about an hour from where I live.

From Iowa pickup yesterday 400ea Redosier Dogwood, 400 Wild Plum, 1,200 White Oak. These cost me $2,040, will sell for $1,200 which is obviously $0.60/ea.

If you prefer other species, I also have some Gray Dogwood, Hazelnut, Ninebark, Pin Oak, Red Oak, and maybe a few others. Not sure off hand of what quantities of these species I have.

Trees are located in Van Buren County.

Have you planted a bunch already ?

Have you planted a bunch already ?

Yes, about 1,000 shrubs at my farm this spring and about 15,000 trees/shrubs at the family pasture farm. Now I have to install 3,000 tubes and stakes on the hardwoods!

My back is sore for you !! I know the feeling!

Decided to make more room and go ahead and plant them. Less work for next year!

How did your planting turn out ??

Any pics ?

Turned out great, could not have asked for a better year to do it with the rains all spring/summer. Fall was super dry but hopefully they were rooted in by then. Some didn’t grow hardly at all which I expected, was shocked that some grew out of 5’ tubes! Including some oaks. I don’t currently have any pics but will get some posted sometime. Have round 2 being planted next spring
