Spring Tree and Shrub Application


Form 2420-031 (R 8/09)

Instructions:

  1. Enter your name, address, and telephone number, method of delivery, county and legal description where trees will be planted. (Look in your county plat book or a Wisconsin Gazetteer if you don't know the section, township and range or call the county clerk of records.) Failure to supply this information will result in the return of your order for completion.
  2. A minimum order is 1000 tree seedlings or 500 shrubs or one packet. Trees and shrubs may be purchased in increments of 100 of each species.
  3. An ungraded (bulk) order is at least 3,000 trees of one species and age (no ungraded orders will be accepted for black walnut or wildlife shrubs). Bulk shipments are discount priced because these orders are not counted or graded at the nursery. The number of trees shipped for ungraded orders are based on bed-run inventories. Consequently, an ungraded order may contain 10% more or less than the number of seedlings ordered. These orders should be graded before planting according to the guidelines below. It is recommended that the 'cull' seedlings not be planted because of reduced survival and growth.
  4. Please indicate a second choice to better ensure your order can be filled. If you don't indicate a second choice, you won't receive a second choice if your first choice is sold out.
  5. A 5 1/2% sales tax must be added to the nursery seedling prices. If the seedlings are being used for silviculture purposes then your purchase may be tax exempt. Please submit Department of Revenue form 211 which can be downloaded from http://www.revenue.wi.gov/forms/sales/s-211.pdf with your order for tax exemption.
  6. For orders submitted by January 31st: DO NOT SEND A PAYMENT at the time of ordering. A billing invoice and order confirmation will be mailed to you. Submit your payment in full within 30 days of the invoice date. Failure to receive a payment will result in cancellation of your order.

    • Exception: For orders exceeding $1000.00, customers may opt to pay 25% down payment (maximum of $500.00) with the balance due by March 15th.

    For orders submitted on or after February 1st: full payment must accompany the order. Full payment is required to ship seedlings. Make checks or money orders payable to: Department of Natural Resources. Cash is not accepted. Your canceled check will be your receipt. Checks returned for non-sufficient funds will be assessed a $20 fee. Refunds of less than $25 will not be made unless requested by phone or in writing by the purchaser.

  7. Mail your order to: Griffith Nursery, 473 Griffith Avenue, Wisconsin Rapids, WI 54494.
