We have purchased many trees and shrubs from Chief River since about 1991 (hundreds or maybe thousands if you add them all up 😆). They have great variety, high quality products and amazing customer service. We study the catalog every winter, plant every spring and enjoy the growth from summer into fall. Highly recommended!

Excellent customer service. Trees arrived as scheduled and in great condition 9 months later they're looking beautiful. The plugs are the slickest way to plant trees. I highly recommend it Chief River Nursery.

Chief River Nursery does everything right as a company. Great customer service, great products, fast shipping and incredible reliability that has proven itself time and time again for decades. My parents turned to Chief River when they needed to buy trees or shrubs and I'm in my forties and a loyal second generation customer.
