Seedling Trees from NM Departmetn of Foresty

Ordering for Spring 2020 begins December 2, 2019.
For more than fifty years, the Division has offered low-cost seedlings to landowners to plant for reforestation, erosion control, windbreaks, streambank restoration, and wildlife habitat improvement.. Since 1960, more than four million trees have been planted throughout New Mexico that were purchased through this program.
The Forestry Division offers more than sixty different species for sale over the course of the fall and spring sales. These seedlings are sold in small containers, large containers, and/or bare root. Not all species are available in all types.  Large containers and bare root are more limited in the species available.
Please note all containerized species are offered in the fall and bare root species and any remaining containerized species are offered in the spring. We switched to this schedule because it has been shown that fall is a highly successful time to plant containerized seedlings. Plants have time to establish roots over the winter while dormant before putting on top growth in the spring and as an added bonus the weather is better for planting! Select your shipping or pickup date so that you can plant your seedlings five to six weeks before your area of the state starts having hard freeze days.  For questions about prices and minimum order size refer to ordering information.
