The nursery is now closed for the 2025 season. We will be open again the first week of May 2026. Please contact if you wish to reserve trees for early May pickup.
The nursery can be visited by appointment only. To arrange a visit, please contact me by cell or complete the form below. Usually, I am available during evenings Monday to Friday and morning to evening on weekends. I will not be able to take any calls or reply promptly during regular working hours Monday to Friday but I will get back to you as soon as possible.
Orders for 2026
The nursery can take large orders for most native species to be grown in 2026. The seeds of many native species have been collected and are currently in cold storage. A 50% deposit is required with outstanding balance to be paid upon collection in summer or fall. Please let me know before the end of April 2026.
PLEASE NOTE: As of 2026, due to a large surplus of native seedlings, some species may now only be propagated to order. This will include less popular species like Yellow Birch, Red Spruce, Tamarack, Hemlock, White Pine, Balsam Fir, White Cedar, Black Cherry, Sugar Maple, American Elm and Ash Species. Popular species like Butternut, Bur Oak, Red Oak, Red Maple, Silver Maple, Ironwood, American Linden, White Spruce, Mountain Ash and Serviceberry will be propagated in bulk without pre-ordering.
I am constantly on the lookout for superior or rare trees to collect seed from in southern New Brunswick from St. Andrews to Fredericton to Moncton. If you know the location of any of the following trees, I would love to hear from you.
American Chestnut (Castanea Dentata) – A very rare and endangered tree not native to NB but may have been planted in some places.
Black Cherry (Prunus Serotina) – A native NB tree that seems to be quite rare now. I would love to know if anyone has some large healthy specimens growing on their property.
Bur Oak (Quercus Macrocarpa) – Another endangered native of NB. I know a few good locations in the Grand Lake region but am always curious to find other natural sites, especially on private lands. I am not looking for trees growing in isolation that were likely planted.
Black Walnut (Juglans Nigra) – A non-native of NB. I know of a few in Fredericton but looking for other options maybe closer to Saint John.
Butternut (Juglans Cinerea) – An endangered NB native. I know of a few good locations in the Fredericton region that have healthy natural stands. I’m always eager to find new locations with healthy natural stands.
Shagbark Hickory (Carya Ovata) – Not a native of NB but I would like to be able to harvest my own seeds instead of ordering online.
White Oak (Quercus Alba) – Another non-native of NB. Very frustrating acorns to order as they almost always germinate and then go moldy in the mail. I would love to find a local source – not to be confused with Bur Oak or English Oak of which there are many planted examples around.
Yellow Buckeye (Aesculus Flava) – All Aesculus species were recently banned for import into Canada – I learned this the hard way. It’s a long shot, but would love to know if there are any seed bearing trees around – not to be mistaken for the Common Horsechestnut (Aesculus Hippocastanum) which is really common.
