Evergreen Seedlings
Evergreen trees, when planted in a linear fashion to form windbreaks, can help improve crop yields, livestock productivity, reduce soil erosion and can help decrease the heating and cooling costs of your home. Typical windbreak spacing is 4 to 8 feet apart for Cedars and up to 10 feet apart for Spruce and Pine.
All prices are for 20 seedlings per species and can ONLY be purchased in units of 20 per species.
Shrub Seedlings
Native shrubs are an excellent source of food for birds and other wildlife.
They also provide habitat and can be used as an alternative to Evergreen borders or windbreaks.
All prices are for 20 seedlings per species and can ONLY be purchased in units of 20 per species.
Hardwoods Seedlings
Many of the hardwoods listed below are a product of ERCA’s Seed Collection Program where our Conservation Services staff have collected tree seed from our surrounding trees and forests. This seed has been grown into seedlings by our partner nurseries and are best suited for planting here in the Essex region.
These hardwood trees can be used to establish new plantations, forests or shade trees. These trees are native to the Essex region. They are part of the Carolinian forest and are adapted to our warm climate and soils.
All prices are for 20 seedlings per species and can ONLY be purchased in units of 20 per species.
