Our annual Spring Tree Auction preview will be held on May 16th this year, which is the Saturday after Mother's Day. The public is welcome to attend and participate in our auctions and there are no minimums or reserves. Loading fees and buyers premiums do apply. We arrange our trees in lots of four or less. Winning bidders have the opportunity to purchase as few or as many plants from a given lot as they choose. Plants are sold in the order in which they are arranged to keep things moving. Whenever possible, we stagger tree varieties throughout the auction so that everyone has a chance to bid on the types they are interested in. We really try to keep the atmosphere friendly for both large and small volume buyers. Our auctions are always a mix of surplus items, park grade stock and #1 premium stock. We make our selections carefully, to ensure that we always include high demand items to keep our regular attendees coming back.
All of our trees are under irrigation in the auction yard, so we can keep them healthy until they are picked up. WE DO NOT LOAD ENCLOSED TRAILERS, as damage to trees and/or equipment is likely to result. In most cases, our trees weigh 500 - 1,000 pounds a piece, so please plan for that when you are making transportation arrangements. We generally do not offer delivery or planting services for auction purchases. Any exception to that policy must be arranged by speaking with our CEO, Jeff Kahnke, directly on auction day. He always tries to make himself available in the auction area during our event.
Here are some tips to help you get the most out of your auction experience.

Here are some tips to help you get the most out of your auction experience.
- Wear boots (or old shoes) and bring a pocket poncho and/or and umbrella. Mother Nature is unpredictable.
- Please understand that loading takes a considerable amount of time and plan accordingly.
- If at all possible, bring a ratcheting strap for every row of trees you plan to haul. Tarps are also a good idea, since we do not tie or wrap auction trees for transport.
- Handouts, with descriptions of the plants in the auction and ball & burlap planting instructions are available at the Fahey Sales trailer.
- Our sales staff is available to answer questions in our retail sales lot on auction day. This area is west of the auction yard and south of the greenhouses.
