J.D. Irving, Limited’s tree nursery in Sussex is open to the public for its ninth annual seedling sale.

Greg Adams, JDI’s Research & Development and Nurseries and Tree Improvement Manager, notes that over the years the nurseries have had a lot of inquiries from landowners who want to plant trees.  “Many people know what they want, but our staff is happy to answer any questions about what species or what combinations of species are right for their land,” said Adams.

Seven species of trees will be for sale: White Spruce, Red Spruce, Black Spruce, Jack Pine, White Pine, Norway Spruce, and Cedar.
Each seedling is 15-25 cm in height. The price range is as follows:
1-99 seedlings:  $0.75 each 
100-299 seedlings:  $0.50 each 
300+ seedlings:  $0.35 each
