Chief River Nursery

Plant hardiness zones were established by the USDA to help us correctly plant the right plants in the right climates. The zone map was created to illustrate plant hardiness based on the weather year round including factors such as average low temperatures and special climate areas like the Great Lakes region. While not a hard and fast rule, planting outside of the recommended zone for a specific plant exposes you to a much higher chance of failure. For instance, a tree or shrub grown outside of its recommended zone may bud out too early for your area.

There is nothing more exciting than hearing about someone who is enhancing their property with our plants! Gardeners may want Apple trees or Blueberry bushes so they can grow their own food. Landowners might want to add cover or a natural food source for deer and game birds. Forestry and government agencies often buy trees in bulk for large reforestation projects. We are fortunate to serve them all, and never take anyone's patronage for granted. We're humbled by how our customers continue to raise our company to new levels.
