2026 Bare Root Tree Sale
Delaware Soil and Water Conservation District’s Annual Tree Sale is open for orders! Tree quantities are limited, so orders are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Order early to ensure you get your desired species. Since we do not offer online sales, our office will contact you if your selection is not available at the time we receive your order.
Tree Pick-Up
Orders can be picked up at our office April 14th-17th, 2026 from 8:00am-4:30 pm. Arrangements can be made for after hours pick-up if needed. When you enter the Byxbe Campus, you will drive straight past the main building and curve to the left, around the back of the building. You can park in the small parking lot just past the greenhouses, next to the Sheriff’s Property Room. We will be in the garage to the right of the greenhouses, and there will be signs to direct you.
Our tree selection is ordered from a Native Tree Nursery in Pennsylvania and shipped. Bare root seedlings are relatively small and orders are filled in Delaware SWCD tote bags; a large vehicle is not necessary for pick-up unless your order is above average size.
What are Bare Root Trees?
Bare root trees and shrubs mean that the plant has not been potted. Instead, they are dormant trees with no soil around their roots. Each species of bare root tree from your order is dipped in a preservative gel and placed in a plastic bag. Seedlings should be planted immediately into your yard or into a permanent container while still dormant for best chance of survival.
