Strong, Resilient Pine Seedlings for Reforestation and Landscape Growth
Pine seedlings are one of the most reliable options available for landowners, conservation organizations and homeowners that are looking for hardy, evergreen trees with long term value. From their adaptability and quick root growth to their evergreen habit, pines are crucial to reforestation efforts, privacy plantings, windbreaks and wildlife habitats. At TN Nursery we have over 65 years growing pine seedlings that we know have field-proven track records. We have been supplying large quantities of plant material since 1959 to places like Arlington National Cemetery, The Washington Monument grounds, and to nature focused education work you may have seen on the Discovery and History networks. That history grounds our authority and means we meet the highest horticultural standards for every pine seedling that we produce.
Why Pine Seedlings Deliver Exceptional Performance
Pines adapt to a wide variety of soils, from sand dunes and rocky sites to clay areas. Their tap roots help to hold soil in place, prevent erosion and provide all-year green cover. TN Nursery offers field hardened bare-root pine seedlings. These seedlings have grown in the ground, outside, gaining strength before they are shipped. They are suitable for planting a backyard border, reforesting acres of woodland, or for simply adding evergreens to a rural landscape. Our pine seedlings are chosen for uniform growth, adaptability to site and climate, and long term health and vigor.
The Ecological Value of Planting Pine Seedlings
Native pine trees are important to a healthy, natural landscape. They provide year-round cover and nesting habitat for birds and small mammals, cones for food, and help sustain the forest canopy. Pines provide winter interest in the garden, and contribute to a balanced ecosystem by moderating temperature and moisture in the local environment. Pine seedlings are some of the fastest to establish on site and for the property owner looking for quick and easy plantings, this could be the perfect option. Experienced growers at TN Nursery know what it takes to get each seedling shipped to your site ready to grow and thrive, and we have the expertise from many years of producing native trees to show for it.
