I purchased a large number of seedlings from the county soil & water district, more than I need. I pick them up April 18, so if you are interested in reserving a few, let me know. Here's what I'm getting:
Acer saccharum - sugar maple
Liriodendron tulipifera - tuliptree
Prunus serotina - black cherry
Amelanchier canadensis - shadbush
Sambucus canadensis - American elderberry
Corylus americana - hazelnut
Cornus sericea - red-osier dogwood
Also, I have self-sown seedlings of American elm, cottonwood (one seedling grew over 4 ft. last year!), & green ash.
CLOSED: Available next month: native tree & shrub seedlings
I would love a Tulip Tree or 2 and a Red-Osier Dogwood please. What would you like in return??
I'd love that cottonwood, I know how fast they grow, we use to have one on our other property. I was amazed at how fast it grew.
Let me know what your looking for in trade.
I don't know if I have anything you would want in a trade but I would like one of the sugar maple and the green ash, and maybe the american elm.
Jsorens, would love to try some of your seedlings, what are you looking for. I might have some other trees you might like to try. Thanks and just let me know when you get a chance.

are those tulip poplar trees? just want to remind everyone what two arborists told me: cut down or remove any tulip poplars with falling distance of your house. Seems they are very prone to breaking or falling in wind storms. the native ones here seem to prove that, you never see a big one with all our hurricanes.
What do you want in trade or are you doing for postage? I'm interested in the Tulip tree, Black Cherry and the dogwood.
Wish we had something like this in our area. For Arbor day they do offer some trees but I can get them in the woods so no new types of trees or shrubs.
Let me know what you want.
Thanks
Lynn
I am interested in Cornus sericea - red-osier dogwood.

I bought trees from the Conservation Dept and they will be here in Aprill. Woould like to trade 3 Paw Paws for 3 Elderberry trees.
Rob, I sure would like the pawpaw trees but I have no elderberry trees to trade you.
Wow, more responses than I've ever gotten to a trade thread! I'll D-mail each of you individually. If it comes down to it, I'll rely on first-come, first-served, but hopefully everyone gets something.
Looking for elderberry for my bird friends............
OHHHH you don't want to feed the birds elderberries you want to keep them and make wine!!!! Some of the best wine I ever drank was made from elderberries.
if I have anything on my list you'd like...I'd trade for the amelandchier and hazelnuts.

I'd be interested in these
Acer saccharum - sugar maple
Liriodendron tulipifera - tuliptree
I know I can come up with something in trade
smhgarden - I don't know how western New York elderberries would do in California! Very different climate, we have long, moderately cold, very wet winters & fairly short, mild, sunny summers. Pretty sure these seedlings will be local or at least regional genotype.
bigred - Several things of yours pique my interest. I'll D-mail you.
crestedchik - I have a fairly large "wants" list you can peruse, but also feel free to suggest something if you don't find anything suitable there.

OK, here's what's left:
Prunus serotina - up to 8 seedlings
Populus deltoides - one 4-foot seedling

Cornus sericea - 2, maybe 3 seedlings
If you haven't responded to D-mails I've sent, please do so soon!
