Nampa sits in Canyon County's high-desert zone where winters drop below 20°F. Our Tree Nursery Nampa options help you pick species that handle alkaline soil and low water. We stock trees already hardened to Treasure Valley wind and summer heat above 95°F.
Homeowners concerned about potential emerald ash borer threats look for disease-resistant alternatives. We recommend zone 7a species like honeylocust and hackberry. Nampa receives only 11 inches of rain annually, so we help you plan supplemental watering schedules. Many older neighborhoods near downtown have clay hardpan 18 inches down.
Call us ahead to confirm inventory during planting season.
Residents along Garrity Boulevard and near Nampa Civic Center look for nurseries within 15 minutes. We open weekends during April and May rush. Our parking fits trucks and trailers so you can load 15-gallon specimens easily. We serve Nampa zip codes 83651 and 83686, plus neighbors near Caldwell. We serve clients across multiple locations—visit our locations page to learn more.


Walk our rows to compare trunk caliper, branching structure, and root-ball firmness. We explain watering depth for new plantings in sandy loam versus clay. Bring your lot's sun-exposure notes and photos of existing trees. We tag trees with mature height to help you avoid power-line conflicts.
Properties near Lake Lowell face higher water tables, so root rot risk increases. West Nampa soil often tests above pH 7.5, limiting species like dogwood. Newer subdivisions off Franklin Road may have compacted builder's fill. Fall planting works if ground doesn't freeze until late November.


From I-84 eastbound or westbound, take Exit 35 toward Northside Boulevard in Nampa. Head south on Highway 45, also called 12th Avenue Road. Continue south past Lewis Lane for approximately six miles. Turn right onto Lake Shore Drive. We sit along Lake Shore Drive near Lake Lowell.
From central Nampa near Karcher Mall, drive south on Highway 45 for ten to twelve minutes. From Caldwell, take I-84 east to Exit 35, then follow Highway 45 south. Lake Shore Drive runs near several seed farms and sits just north of Lake Lowell's recreation area.
Call ahead on spring weekends when traffic increases near the Nampa Farmers Market. We offer delivery to subdivisions like Centennial and Southridge when you order five or more trees.
Bare-root stock ships in late February; plant before buds break. Balled-and-burlapped maples and lindens cost more but establish faster in Nampa heat. Container trees let you delay planting through June if you water daily. Ask us whether root systems were grown locally or shipped from wetter climates. Learn more about our farm and how we prepare trees for Treasure Valley conditions.

Trees are serious, and so are your questions. Here are just a few:
When do Nampa tree nurseries receive spring shipments?
Most farms stock up mid-March before April planting rush.
Can I plant trees in Nampa's alkaline soil without amendments?
Honeylocust and hackberry tolerate high pH; maples often need sulfur.
Do tree farms deliver to subdivisions near Southridge Golf Course?
Many offer delivery for orders over five trees; ask about minimum.
What size tree fits under Nampa's 25-foot power lines?
Choose species with mature heights under 20 feet for safe clearance.
Is fall planting safe before Nampa's first hard freeze?
Yes, if planted six weeks before ground freezes in late November.
Do I need a permit to plant street trees in older Nampa neighborhoods?
Check with city forestry; some downtown blocks have species lists.
