The Best Trees for Planting in Minnesota

The best Minnesota tree choices will include trees that will easily adapt to Minnesota’s climate conditions, along with demonstrating exceptional drought-resistance as well as mildew, insect and disease resistance.

Homeowners in The Land of 10,000 Lakes are looking for types of trees that are fast-growing, hardy, and are perhaps even native. For shade, we suggest any of our Red Maples, such as the Autumn Blaze, October Glory or Summers Red.

A Large Variety of Trees for Minnesota

Wherever your location inside the lovely state of Minnesota – near Boundary Waters, Spirit Mountain, or the Twin Cities and Minnesota River Valley – we can be your source for trees. Our wide variety of tree selections for planting and several different specimens sure to provide pretty solutions for your unique landscaping needs anywhere in beautiful Minnesota.

The Minnesota state tree is the Red Pine, a picturesque evergreen tree that can grow up to 10-feet tall, with a straight trunk and an open, rounded crown. The tree gets its name from the bright orange or reddish bark, which becomes very noticeable as the tree matures.

The official Minnesota state soil is called Lester, a native soil of Minnesota found only in the south-central part of the state. Lester is a highly productive, fertile soil so valuable to Minnesota’s valuable agricultural industry. If you are not on Lester soil, we suggest you contact your local Extension Service office to discover what soil you actually have in your yard.

The most beautiful Minnesota landscaping will contain an interesting mixture of different types of evergreen trees and shade trees that grow well in Minnesota, with accents of flowering trees and Cypress Trees. Choose trees that can adapt to the soil type in your specific and unique region of Minnesota.

Drop N Grow™

Because this tree is grown in a burlap bag, its roots grow into the cloth, rather than circling around the pot. This brings moisture and nutrients into the tree, for faster, healthier growth and ease. Simply dig your hole, place the Drop 'N Grow™ bag in the center (burlap included), then use excess dirt to fill the hole. That's it!
