LA and MS both used to have a program that you could purchase bare root native trees. This was 20 yrs ago. Do they still have these programs? I cant find info anywhere. Id rather support the state than a private nursery if possible.
Thanks for those leads.
Not that it matters, but why a downvote?

I believe both states have long since defunded that effort.
many other states do still offer bulk native seedlings at great prices in the fall and/or spring. I had a recent thread on getting native plums from New Hampshire?, I think.
most will not ship out of state or even require local pick up, but at least a handful will ship anywhere
what trees are you looking for?

Persimmon mainly but any fruit bearing. I have plenty nut bearing trees.

They do in Lake Charles at the FSA office every January or February.

2026 Louisiana Arbor Day at Burden
Saturday, January 17th
9am - 1pm
Barton Arboretum at the LSU Ag Center Botanic Gardens
Arbor Day is a nationally celebrated observance that encourages tree planting and care. Louisiana Arbor Day is always held the third Friday in January to coincide with our tree-planting season.
To celebrate Louisiana Arbor Day, Baton Rouge Green partners with the Burden Museum & Gardens' Arbor Day. The Burden team hosts a festival of activities, tree planting and learning at the Barton Arboretum (inside the Burden complex). In addition to the many horticulture, arboriculture and naturalist experts and vendors interacting with visitors, the BRG team gives away 1,000 FREE native trees to attendees on a first-come, first-served basis. The trees are grown by the staff and volunteers at Burden.

That's a nice event, but as I recall, each person gets one tree, it's tiny, and you don't get to pick what type

There's a program where they'll come out and plant the trees for you. My dad just did it in Avoyelles parish.
We just did the FPP on our property in St. Tammany Parish; they came out and did a prescribed burn after we did a thinning cut. They also developed a stewardship program. They were incredibly easy to work with. LDAF/LDWF also have assistance for longleaf pine restoration.

I bought hundreds of trees from LDAF every year, but they ended that program 10-15 years ago. Get all my trees from the arboretum these days.
