Virginians looking to plant trees on their land in the spring will have to go no farther than their computer.
The Virginia Department of Forestry will open its online tree seedling store Oct. 9.
Every year, the forestry department offers hardwood and pine bareroot seedlings.
This year, container-grown longleaf pine seedlings are also available.
The six loblolly pine varieties available this year range from 25 percent to more than 60 percent in improved growth and yield, when compared with unimproved seedlings.
Most seedlings are available in quantities as low as 10 and 25.
The forestry department’s two tree nurseries grow and sell 24 million tree seedlings each year.
Virginians who are interested in purchasing tree seedlings can log onto
http://www.BuyVirginiaTrees.com and order from the more than 40 species available.

The online store also includes information to help landowners choose the right species, as well as pricing and shipping details.
For more information, or to place an order over the phone, call the Augusta Forestry Center at (540) 363-7000.
