Ordering Tree and Shrub Seedlings
Check the seedling inventory for current species in stock starting on Monday, Oct. 5, 2026. See the stock descriptions for seedling sizes. If a desired species is unavailable through the state nursery, you may wish to contact a private nursery.
To use the nursery store, you'll need a MyWisconsin ID. If you haven’t already, create a MyWisconsin ID to access the store for the fall ordering season. If you have any issues with your MyWisconsin ID, contact the Wisconsin Division of Enterprise Technology’s MyWisconsin ID Account Service Desk at 608-471-6667.
Please double check all orders for accuracy before submitting. We are unable to edit orders after they're submitted.
If you have questions about your seedling order or would like to request a printable order form, contact Carey Skerven at the Griffith State Nursery.

The MyWisconsin ID Account Service Desk offers online self-service options and guidance. You can call 608-471-6667 for 24/7 support, 365 days a year.
Ordering Notes
- For a successful tree planting experience, please seek professional advice from your local DNR forester or private consultant forester to develop a tree planting plan which will address species selection, site preparation needs, cost share programs available, tree planter rental options, information on forest tax law programs and other forest management topics.
- A minimum order is a packet of 300 trees or shrubs (you select the species for your packet in increments of 100), 500 shrubs or 1,000 trees. Orders of 100 to 400 seedlings must be purchased in lots of 100 seedlings of the same species. To receive a price reduction for larger orders of 500 to 2,900, you must purchase a minimum of 500 seedlings of the same species; for orders of 3,000 or more, you must purchase a minimum of 3,000 seedlings of the same species.
- An uncounted bulk order consists of at least 3,000 trees of one species and age. (Exception: uncounted orders are not accepted for certain species.)
- Optional DNR Reforestation Program shipping is available at $7.00 (for 300 to 1,000 seedlings) or $0.70 per 100 (for 1,000 or more seedlings). No shipping refunds after March 15.
- Sales tax must be added to the total nursery order and is calculated based on delivery or pick-up location. Seedlings used for silviculture purposes may be tax-exempt. If you believe your order is tax exempt, please complete a Department of Revenue Form 211. Tax-exempt orders must have a form attached, regardless of how the order has been placed (online or via the U.S. mail). If a customer has questions related to delivery cost or tax-exemption, contact Carey Skerven at the Griffith State Nursery.
