Wherever you live, from Buffalo to Sioux City, you’ll find what you’re looking for at our nursery, and we’ll help you choose the trees you need to enhance your residential landscape.

South Dakota’s state tree is the White Spruce. This tree is a large evergreen that grows between 49 and 98 feet tall with a diameter of up to around 3 feet. It has thin, flaky bark and produces slender cones around 2 ½ inches long.

South Dakota’s state soil is the Houdek series, designated in 1990. This soil is a dark, gray-brown loam and covers around 600,000 of the state’s acres. Often used for cropland, this is a productive soil and trees and shrubs will thrive in it.

South Dakota natural landscapes are often a mixture of hardy shade trees and flowering trees and shrubs that thrive in the Mount Rushmore State as well as fruit trees and evergreens. Choosing trees that can adapt to your climate zone and soil types will make caring for your landscape rewarding and low-maintenance.

Growing zone matters: Plants that are not suited for your growing zone will not be covered by this guarantee. If you’re not sure whether a plant will work for your location, our Plant Experts are here to help!

Note on dormancy: If you order a deciduous tree in winter or spring and it arrives without leaves, it is likely dormant. If your tree does not start showing growth by that June, we'll be happy to help!

Drop N Grow™

Because this tree is grown in a burlap bag, its roots grow into the cloth, rather than circling around the pot. This brings moisture and nutrients into the tree, for faster, healthier growth and ease. Simply dig your hole, place the Drop 'N Grow™ bag in the center (burlap included), then use excess dirt to fill the hole. That's it!
