contact you local forestry service or you state forestry service. seedlings are cheap. Im not sure but most trees are at least 8 years old.

I use a nursery in PA for some of my seedlings. PikesPeak nursery...ask for Marcy. Most young seedlings will take at least 6-8 years. Once they get fully rooted you can expect maybe about a foot per year (depends on the species you plant).

Good luck
