ORDERING EARLY HELPS INSURE THAT WE CAN SUPPLY THE SPECIES YOU WANT!
Stock for the Conservation Planting Program was ordered in September 2015 based on species and
numbers sold over the last 2-3 years.
Generally we can obtain additional evergreen stock if demand exceeds our original order.
Deciduous species are more difficult to obtain if demand exceeds our original order.
Order large quantities, 100 or more, before March 13 to better insure availability
TIOGA COUNTY SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT – 2015 TREE AND SHRUB PROGRAM
INFORMATION and SPECIES DESCRIPTIONS
Orders will be available for pickup at
the District office, 183 Corporate
Drive, north of Owego off Rt 38
behind the Tioga County Public
Safety Building on Friday, April 15,
10:00am - 5:30pm and Saturday, April
16, 8:00am - 10:00am.
The District reserves the right to offer
substitutions or refund payment on
species if unavailable. The District
will NOT be responsible for the
success or failure of plantings.
All species are bare rootstock.
Evergreen
seedlings have grown entirely in their original
seedbed and are 3-0 stock, three years in the
seedbed. Transplants have been transplanted
from the seedbed to a transplant bed. This allows
the plant to grow a denser root system, more
branching and a thicker stem. Balsam & Fraser fir
are 3-2 transplants. This means 3 years in a
seedbed and 2 years in a transplant bed. Northern
white cedar & hemlock are 2-2 transplants. Blue
spruce, White spruce, Norway spruce and
Douglas fir transplants are 2-2.
Deciduous
seedlings are 1-0 or 2-0 stock.

AUSTRIAN PINE - Native to Europe. A tree that
grows to a height of 50 feet. Grows well on a
variety of soils. Needles are dark green, stiff, grow
in clusters of two, and are from 3 to 6 inches long.
It is a very attractive ornamental. It is an excellent
windbreak because of its stiff branches.
WHITE PINE – Largest of the Northeast conifers.
80 to 100’ in height. 3-5” long dark bluish green
needles are slender and flexible. Can grow 2’+ per
year on preferred sandy loam soil. Valuable
softwood timber. Can be pruned for Christmas
trees.
BLUE SPRUCE - Native to the Central Rocky
Mountains. Needles are approximately 1 inch long
and very sharp. It requires a more fertile, welldrained site than white spruce and prefers south
and east slopes.
It is used mostly as an
ornamental and to a lesser degree, as a Christmas
tree.
NORWAY SPRUCE - A native of Europe. Needles
are dark green, ¾ to 1 inch long. Grows well on a
variety of soils. However, the first five years of
growth are very slow. It is not recommended for
Christmas trees because the needles drop quickly.
Used mostly for ornamentals and in windbreaks.
WHITE SPRUCE - Native to northern New York
and Canada. Grows well on a variety of soils.
Needles are short 1/3 to ¾ inches long, and

variety of soils, but does best on cool, moist soils.
