The Georgia Forestry Commission offers a wide variety of pine and hardwood seedlings. The GFC caters to small, private, non-industrial landowners and we serve thousands of customers in that capacity. Seedlings are available in small or large quantities, and they offer varieties suitable for all environments in Georgia. Many of the seedlings have been genetically improved to adapt to Georgia’s unique climate conditions.

Each year, GFC supplies seedlings to Georgia landowners for reforestation, beautification and wildlife habitat. GFC begins processing orders on July 1 for the following planting season (in Georgia, planting season is from December through March 1). Seedlings are available to the public on a first come-first serve basis. Orders can be delivered to and picked up at any GFC office across the state without additional charge.

All seedlings sold through GFC nurseries are grown from seed adapted to Georgia’s unique climate and soils. They process the seeds at their seed conditioning plant in Dry Branch, Georgia. Husks, wings and debris are removed, and damaged or unhealthy seeds are discarded. Seeds are then dried for storage or prepared for immediate planting.

Seedling sales open July 1, and deliveries begin the first week in December. Buyers can receive orders at their local GFC office or pick them up at GFC’s Flint River Nursery in Byromville. To place an order visit https://gatrees.org/forest-management-conservation/tree-seedlings/
