Tree Seedling Catalog

The Virginia Department of Forestry (VDOF) publishes a tree seedling catalog for Virginia landowners. The catalog, Virginia Trees for Virginia's Landowners, (English; PDF format) includes 47 species of seedlings that have been grown at one of our State Forestry Centers. Covering more than 1,200 acres, our nurseries produce more than 40 million seedlings annually.

The Department of Forestry assumes no responsibility or liability for planting of any tree seedlings and in the sale thereof makes no warranties, expressed or implied, of merchantability or of fitness for a particular purpose and makes no warranties regarding the survival or rate of growth of any seedlings.

Tree Seedlings (alphabetical listing) l Specialty Packs l Seed Mixtures.

In addition to the wide selection of bare-root seedlings, we also offer landowners seven different specialty packs and seven seed mixtures suitable for various wildlife habitats, screening, use in wetland areas and for erosion control.

Two convenient order forms are located in the center of the catalog. Please feel free to share the catalog and extra form with friends and neighbors. Need additional order forms? Make copies or contact your local VDOF Office. Contact your county forester for other conservation or reforestation projects.
