Purchasing trees in Fargo

[Bed Wetter]

There are some cool trees I'm seeing around here that are breeds developed by NDSU and U of M to handle our climates, soils, and diseases. However, I can't swing $160-200 per sapling. Anybody know where a guy could find quality apple, elm, maple, etc that don't cost an arm and a leg?

Check out Berguson's nursey in Fertile MN for bare root trees. They're expensive, but have great selection for smaller qnty's.

If you're looking to buy a bit more qnty- contact clay county soil & water, they can special order you trees that aren't standard shelter belt varieties. I got a bunch of princeton elms special order last year. Good luck.

I've gotten a few hundred from Cass County Soil Conservation over the years.

It's got to be the cheapest route. For the most part they're little 1 foot sticks, but they have a "tall stock" section with 4-6 footers (depending on the species). I believe they open up the online tree store sometime in the winter. You want to order any "tall stock" right away as they seem to go fast. Then you pick them up in late April or early May, which is usually just right for spring planting.
