by Jim Wichman, Nursery Supervisor, IDNR Division of Foresrty
The Vallonia State Nursery and Jasper-Pulaski State Nursery together have sold 5.5
million trees on 5100 orders.
At this time we are sold out of all species however, stock may become available throughout the season due to cancellations by customers on existing orders or cancellations for non-payment.
If you have an existing order and would like to obtain stock from cancellations, follow
these guidelines.
1.Call the nursery where you placed your
original order.
2. Ask for a clerk that can assist you with a tree order.
3. The clerk will give you the date of the next cancellation date for non-payments if the
stock you are wanting is not available when you call.
4. You may call back on the next cancellation date to see if the stock you are wanting has
become available.

3. Once you have completed steps 1 and 2, follow the guide lines listed above for existing
orders.
Using a random sample of 30% of the orders received in the lottery, demand was projected to be 6.3 million for these orders. Approximately 1,000 orders were received after the lottery. These orders would have required about 1 million additional seedlings to fill them as requested. Therefore, overall demand is estimated to be between 7 or 8 million seedlings.
Species that sold out early were as follows:
Bur Oak Swamp
White Oak
Cherrybark Oak
Tuliptree
Shumard Oak
Most of the Conifer Species
White Oak
In many cases, we have increased seed collection for these species with the desired result
being an increased supply for next year. The conifers require 2 or 3 years to produce a
shippable seedling therefore, increases in supply will not be evident for 2 or 3 years.
