Order seedlings from the N.C. Forest Service

This is the time of year when the N.C. Forest Service Nursery Program releases its catalog of seedlings available to the public for purchase.

The state forest service produces about 16 million seedlings for more than 50 species of conifer and hardwood trees each year at its nurseries, including one in Goldsboro. The Forest Service sells hardwood seedlings in quantities as low as 10 and conifers in quantities as low as 50. Large orders also can be accommodated.

You can check out a catalog of the available trees online at buynctrees.com. Or pick one up at at local N.C. Forest Service offices, which are located in all 100 North Carolina counties.

The catalog shares information on the types of tree species, quantities and costs. Each tree description includes information about ideal planting locations and whether a species is typically used for the benefit of wildlife or restoring habitats.

Seedlings can be ordered online, by mail or by phone at 888-NCTREES (888-628-7337) using a Visa or MasterCard. To order by mail, complete an order form and send it to Seedling Coordinator, 762 Claridge Nursery Road, Goldsboro, NC 27530.
