The Florida Department of Agriculture has just opened an on-line portal where the public can buy tree seedlings

The Florida Department of Agriculture has just opened an on-line portal where the public can buy tree seedlings.

The purpose of the site is to encourage reforestation around the state.

The Florida Forest Service produces over 4 million bare-root pine seedlings annually at its Andrews Nursery in Chiefland, Florida.

These trees are available to non-industrial private landowners, corporate landowners, and state and federal agencies.

Andrews Nursery also grows over 5 million containerized seedlings, including longleaf pine, slash pine, sand pine, and wiregrass.

Seedlings are generally sold in increments of 1,000; however, customers with smaller needs may purchase 500 or 250 seedlings.

Sales will be conducted on a first-come, first-served basis and will continue until each type of seedling is sold out.

Availability, delivery options, and pricing are available at the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services website.
