The El Paso County office of Texas
AgriLife Extension Service, in cooperation with The Texas
Forest Service, annually offers a windbreak seedling
sale. Orders are normally taken from October
through January and trees arrive in early February.
Seedlings of both evergreen and
hardwood trees are available and only trees that are
recommended for the El Paso area are sold. The list
of available trees and shrubs varies slightly from year
to year, but there are usually around 20 single species
to choose from (sold in packets of 30 to 50 trees).
Packets of mixed species to
attract wildlife are also available and contain 100
seedlings (25 each of four different species).
Prices range from $34 to $58.
The deadline to order trees is usually around
January 20 and trees normally arrive about three weeks
later.
When this program is being
offered, during the fall of 2006, more information and
an order form will be available for download from this
page.
For more information, or to be
placed on the mailing list to receive an order packet
when available, please contact AgriLife
Extension at (915) 851-2515
You may also check the
Texas Forest Service
website for more information on windbreak trees.
