2025 Tree orders

[BuckSutherland]

I have mine ordered. Most of my trees are coming from Yellow River Nursery in WI. Thanks Ben. They are indeed going to ship to MN. I like their large sized bareroots and hope they will be excellent trees. Wish I would have ordered sooner before some of the bigger stuff was sold out.

From Yellow River
10 Tamaracks (22-36")
10 Austrian Pine (2-2)
10 Ponderosa Pine (2-2)
25 White Pine (14-24") (2-3)
25 Meyer Spruce (12-18")
25 Black Hills Spruce (12-18")
25 Norway Spruce (22-36")
10 White Oak (Quercus Alba)
10 Hackberry for the grouse


I will also get 20 (2 gallon) white cedar pots from the local NRCS


Thinking about 3 crabapple trees from Midwest deer trees. Maybe a Kerr, Big Dog and Buckman Crab.

Looks good, nice size on those… how much are the Spruce (for example)?

www.yellowrivernurseries.com

Norways= $4.65 each

Meyer, BHS, WP= $3.65 each

AP, ponderosa= $2.65 each



Everything is very very reasonable. Very pleased with size, price and response time from the owner. He told me to expect about 20% of order price for shipping price. I think they overnight the trees. Wish I would have gotten in sooner so I could have got the bigger white cedar and had everything from one place.

You are planting them now?

Hopefully around April 20, 2025.

I checked out their site, I like their deer packages!

I've ordered from Yellow River Nurseries for a few years, and I've been very happy with the quality of their trees. Their $5 seedling apple trees you receive in spring can be 5'-6' trees that fall if you can keep them watered and keep competition down.

I'll be interested to hear your thoughts on the quality of the other types of trees you ordered from them. I've been sticking with the DNR nurseries for large quantity orders, but I'm hoping to cut back to smaller quantities in the near future and Yellow River has a good selection.

Has anyone tried their Dolgo Crabapples?

Better get your order in....

I see they have a common pear. I take it these are pears just grown from seed? Has any bought these and had luck? Are they similar to seed grown apples where you dont know what you will have?I have bought the antovonka seedlings and I'm very impressed with the trees.I had lots of apples this year. Very strong looking tree.

Curious if the hackberry will produce for you.
I am at about the 45 th parallel in NE Michigan and that is pushing the limits for a hackberry natural range. My tree is admittedly not in the best location, it is alive and continues to grow but at 9 years old it has never fruited. I think I'm too far north.

I read about 15 years for hackberry to produce. Not sure if I will ever see fruit. Hopefully the kids do. My friend has a hackberry tree in front of his shop. The best bird food I have ever seen on a tree. We watched a couple hundred robins work it for a few weeks last spring. I think they will be phenomenal grouse and bird trees some day. Hopefully the birds will broadcast my work all over the surrounding Chippewa National Forrest.

Hackberries are ok but I wouldn't plant them for forage.Coons will also eat the berries.Here in Kansas they are dying by the hundreds from the drought.

I wouldnt want a hackberry tree around the yard - will have bird hackberry poop on everything

I tried - YR doesn't ship this far east. I had an order made up, too.

Sounds alot like mulberry. However, if you like early season bird, small game, or good early season trail camera action, it does real well. Got plenty of cherry at camp, so maybe don't need mulberry so much.

No issues for me, I have 5 in my yard. It definitely attracts the birds !

I hate having hackberry trees in the yard. Gets tiresome cutting and killing all the little ones coming up under every bush and in the windbreaks. My last one is getting taken down in a couple months. It was a huge old beautiful tree but had been shredded by storms the last few years. Not bad to have some out in the woods though. The birds love them.

Strange, it’s a common tree in my area. I like Hackberry, but a lot of forum guys don’t care for them .
