How the Seedling Tree Program Works
These seedling trees and shrubs are selected specially for Colorado's climate and are grown at the Colorado State Forest Service Nursery in Fort Collins, Colorado.
If you live in Colorado, you're in the right place! Each year in November, we'll send each person on our mailing list an order form. They will have until the middle of March to order. The earlier you order, the more likely the plants you want will still be available. "First Come, First Served" The date for tree pickup is scheduled for usually the second week in April in Kiowa, Colorado at the Elbert County Fairgrounds. If you pace and order, you will be notified by postcard, and/or email of time and date for seedling tree pickup.
