This collection includes tree seeds suited to a range of outdoor uses, from deciduous and hardwood tree seeds to conifer, ornamental, fruit, and selected native species. Growing trees from seed gives gardeners, landscapers, municipalities, and restoration professionals access to a broad selection of species for shelterbelts, woodland plantings, natural hedges, property enhancement, and larger ecological projects. Depending on the species, tree seeds can produce trees with varied foliage, bark, form, seasonal colour, flowers, or fruit, making them suitable for both functional and ornamental planting. Options may also include forest seeds and forestry seeds for projects focused on reforestation, biodiversity, and long-term landscape development.
