Melad Tree Farm’s tree nursery caters specifically to clients in and around Star, Idaho who want young, region-ready saplings to start or refresh their landscape. Our nursery features a range of ornamental, shade, and fruit-bearing varieties, each raised under conditions that reflect Star’s unique high-desert climate. By choosing from our nursery stock, you gain confidence that your saplings have been hardened off to local temperature swings, alkaline soil, and irrigation patterns—setting you up for success when you plant in your yard.
If you’ve shopped for saplings in big-box garden centers, you may have noticed trees that look healthy but stumble during their first summer in Star due to root systems that weren’t accustomed to our environment. Without proper hardening off, young trees shipped from eastern or coastal regions often exhibit stress—such as leaf drop, stunted growth, or vulnerability to local pests—within weeks of planting.
At Melad Tree Farm, we grow our saplings on-site under a regimen that mirrors Star’s climate. Each tree is exposed to the same irrigation cycles, daily temperature swings, and soil textures you’ll find in your own yard. When you arrive at our nursery, you can inspect leaf color, branch structure, and root health firsthand—long before the sapling leaves the farm.
Reach out by phone or visit our farm during business hours. Let us know your goals, such as adding shade near a patio or creating a focal point in your front yard.
We’ll talk through your soil conditions, how much sunlight the area receives, and how much space you have. Using that information, we’ll recommend a few species that align with your preferences.
Once you’ve made a selection, we’ll help you arrange transportation and share pointers on proper planting. If you need extra guidance, our team is available to provide more support for a successful transition from farm to your property.
