- Friday Morning Rush: We typically see a big rush first thing on Friday, but with extra inventory this year, you’ll likely still get what you want! If you’d prefer to avoid the crowd, consider visiting later in the day or on Saturday.
- Parking: Please park in the lower lot immediately after entering the gates for the best access.
- Transporting Trees: We recommend bringing a wheelbarrow or garden cart to make transport easier. Our team will be on hand to assist with loading.

How big are the seedlings at the time of distribution?
The majority of our bare-root seedlings range in size from 3-24’’ tall, and unless otherwise indicated, are not potted and come in minimum bundles of five (unless otherwise noted).
An 8" seedling is grown in a greenhouse for one year. The 8" seedlings have an advantage to planting large quantities because they are much smaller and less labor-intensive.
Reforestation trees are available in 8" size, as well as Plug 1 size. The P1 seedlings, are a year older than the 8" seedlings and they are quite a bit larger, about a foot or taller and they have a larger caliper stem with some branching and a larger more extensive root system. A P1 seedling is grown for one year in a greenhouse and an additional year in the field.

Please remember that the trees and plants are bareroot and only 1–2 years old. Seedlings are dipped in a hydrogel to retain moisture before being carefully packed into sealed bags for easy transport. These bags are compact and designed to fit in any economical car—no need for large trucks or hatchbacks!

If we are unable to fulfill an item in your order, a refund for the difference will be issued.
Availability
Quantities are limited, and orders will be processed in the order they are paid for through our online store. All plants are sold on a first-come, first-served basis, and many species sell out quickly—so be sure to order early.
Any remaining inventory from the online pre-sale will be available for purchase during the surplus sale on pickup days.
Returns
All sales are final. Product returns are not accepted.
What happens if my trees or shrubs die?
Due to environmental factors beyond our control, SCD cannot guarantee the survivability of the seedlings we sell. As a result, refunds or rain checks will not be issued.
To ensure the best chance of success, all plants require consistent watering during their first three years to establish a strong root system. If you are unable to plant your seedlings immediately after pickup, please refer to the Storing Your Seedlings section for tips on how to store them properly for later planting.
If you have questions or concerns about your trees or shrubs, our Forestry department is here to help. You can reach them at (509) 535-7274, Monday through Thursday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, for expert guidance.
Storing Your Seedlings
If you must store your plants before planting, choose a storage area that is cool, well-ventilated, and dark—such as a garage or another similar space. It is important to keep plants protected from drying out, overheating, or freezing.
For short-term storage, leave the plants in their sealed bags. The hydrogel coating on the roots helps retain moisture, keeping them ready for planting. If you need to store the plants for a longer period, consider transferring them to pots to maintain their health.
Avoid storing plants near fresh produce or cut flowers, as these release ethylene gas, which is harmful to live plant material. Ensure the roots remain moist while keeping the tops of the plants dry for the best results.
Cancellations
Cancellations must be made prior to the final pre-order date of March 7th, 2025, otherwise a 25% deposit of the total order will be forfeited. To cancel an order please call (509) 535-7274.
Receipt of Order
You will receive a confirmation email once you place your order online. Please contact SCD as soon as possible if you notice an error on the order form. Please bring your order number with you to collect your seedlings.
