NATIVE TREE (and SHRUB) SALE -- THE LIST!  VIRUS EDITION

Our sale was scheduled for March 28th, 2020.  Now we're looking forward to our October sale.  The list below was spring availability.  There will be more available in the fall. OK to special order items that are not on this list (search fknursery.com or call KCB).  Send us your wishlist!  

Scroll down for trees and shrubs ... all native species that belong in this environment. 



Aldo Leopold wrote in A Sand County Almanac ...
Acts of creation are ordinarily reserved for gods and poets, but humbler folk may circumvent this restriction if they know how.  To plant a pine, for example, one need be neither a god nor poet; one need only own a shovel.
