2010 Fall Tree Sale Flyer! MCCD Board of Directors and Staff would like to thank the residents of Marquette County for your continued support of our natural resources through restoration and conservation practices.
The annual tree sale is our largest fundraising event for the year. All proceeds go back to District programs that are free or low cost to all Marquette County residents.
Following are brief descriptions of our offerings this year. Click on the links for more information and photos. Enjoy exploring our gallery!
Conifers are planted for a variety of reasons, including windbreaks
and shelterbelts, wildlife corridors, plantations and screens. Conifer
seedlings are smaller and less expensive than transplants—a good
choice for large plantings. Transplants are a bit taller and much
sturdier but a little more difficult to plant. They are an excellent
choice for screens and windbreaks.

Deciduous trees and shrubs provide excellent food for a variety of songbirds. Some are also attractive to other wildlife species such as deer and grouse. Most of the trees and shrubs listed will do best when planted in full or nearly full sunlight. Be sure to fit the right plant for your soil type. For maximum wildlife benefit, plant a variety that will provide food throughout the year.

All of our apple trees are partially self-fruitful. For the best fruit production we recommend cross pollinating with another variety. An early bloomer will cross pollinate with another early- or mid-season bloomer. A late bloomer will work with another late- or mid-season bloomer. Mid-season bloomers will work with any of the bloomers. All trees should reach 15’ tall at maturity. The root stocks chosen are best suited to our climate and for dry, sandy soils. All apple trees are ordered at 5/8” caliper at a height of 4-6’. Root stock and caliper are subject to substitutions.

We are offering new varieties of cherry, pear, and flowering crab trees. In order for your pear and flowering crab trees to bear fruit they must be cross-pollinated with another variety of tree. We recommend at least two varieties of pear trees for best production. Crab trees also need another variety in order to cross-pollinate, yet will assist in the pollination of your apple trees if interplanted.
