OUR STORY

About Alaska Trees

Owner Daniel Rhoads has been growing and supplying high-quality trees and plants in Alaska for over 25 years. After originally operating in Anchorage, he returned to his roots in the Mat-Su Valley to bring his business closer to his family. Alaska Trees & Nursery now consists of multiple farms where they cultivate native trees, shrubs, perennials, and acclimate non-native plants for Alaska’s unique climate.

For over 25 years, Alaska Trees & Nursery has been supplying high-quality trees, shrubs, and perennials for large commercial landscaping projects and homeowners alike. Our specialty is Alaska native plants, but we also provide a full nursery of cold-hardy ornamentals that thrive in our unique climate. From backyard gardens to large-scale revegetation efforts, we’re committed to offering affordable, resilient plant solutions across the state.

Our nursery, conveniently located on the Palmer-Wasilla Highway, is stocked with everything you need to transform your property into a thriving, self-sustaining landscape. We’re passionate about fruit-bearing trees, berry plants, and edible perennials, helping Alaskans grow their own food and enjoy the benefits of a productive, eco-friendly garden. With lower prices than big-box stores and local nurseries, we make it easier to invest in high-quality plants that will last for years to come.

Our Mission

At Alaska Trees & Nursey, we believe in sustainable, locally adapted landscapes that support both people and the environment. Our goal is to provide affordable, high-quality plant materials while equipping our customers with the knowledge and resources to steward their land for the future. Whether you're planting a home garden, restoring native habitat, or developing a large project, we’re here to help you make a lasting impact.

Meet Our Mascot

We believe every great business deserves a great mascot—and ours comes straight from the imagination of our next generation!

Meet our friendly, tree-loving mascot, a creation by Emma, at age 7. Inspired by the beauty of nature and the importance of reforestation, this whimsical character represents our commitment to growing strong, healthy trees for Alaska’s landscapes.

Much like the plants we nurture, Emma’s mascot is full of life and color, reminding us that
every tree we plant today shapes the forests of tomorrow.
