Plymouth annual low-cost tree and shrub sale begins March 1
Plymouth, Minn. – The City of Plymouth annual low-cost tree and shrub sale begins Sunday, March 1.
Orders will be accepted through Friday, May 1.
The sale features 10 varieties of trees, six shrubs and five fruit plants.
Get Help Choosing the Right Plants
Before placing an order online, residents can get help choosing the right trees, shrubs and fruit plants
for their yard. City forestry staff will be available to offer advice and answer questions about this year’s
plant selections at the following events.
•Tree & Shrub Sale Preview – 6:30-7:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 27 at the Plymouth Maintenance
Facility, 14900 23rd Ave. N.
•Discover Plymouth – 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, April 18 at the Plymouth Creek Center, 14800
34th Ave. N.
About Plymouth’s Tree & Shrub Sale
Each year, Plymouth city staff selects plants that are well-adapted to local growing conditions and
resistant to pests and diseases. They serve as good replacements for ash trees affected by Emerald Ash
Borer or invasive species, such as buckthorn. They also provide food and shelter for pollinators,
butterflies and other wildlife.
Most of the trees are 5-6 feet tall at the time of purchase and are bare-root, which means they do not
have soil on the roots. Bare-root trees cost less, are easier to transport and have up to 200 percent more
roots than the traditional balled and burlapped plants. They are also easy to plant. Evergreen species
come in pots and are 2-3 feet tall, while shrubs are bare root and 2-3 feet tall.
More Information, Order Online
Tree and shrub orders will be available for pickup 3-6 p.m. Friday, May 8 and 8 a.m. to noon Saturday,
May 9 at the Plymouth Maintenance Facility. Leftover trees will be sold 11 a.m. to noon Saturday, May 9
at the Maintenance Facility.
Trees and shrubs do not come with a warranty. Quantities are limited. For information on available
plants and pricing, or to place an order, visit plymouthmn.gov/treesale.

Emerald Ash Borer presentation set for March 10
Plymouth, Minn. – The City of Plymouth is set to hold “Riding Out the EAB Wave,” a presentation about
Emerald Ash Borer, 7-8 p.m. Tuesday, March 10 at the Plymouth Creek Center's Black Box Theatre,
14800 34th Ave. N.
Plymouth residents are invited to attend the free presentation to ask questions and learn more about
the options available to them. Presenters include city forestry staff and commercial tree service
representatives.
The first case of Emerald Ash Borer in Plymouth was confirmed in 2015. The small, invasive insect infects
ash trees and spreads quickly, typically killing a majority of ash trees in its path.
The presentation will answer the following questions regarding EAB:
•How does it spread?
•What is the city doing to slow down this infestation?
•What should residents be doing with their own ash trees?
•What options/methods do commercial tree care companies offer?
For more information about EAB in Plymouth, visit plymouthmn.gov/eab.

Bloomington-based Augusta Development has paid $4.99 million for the site for this proposed senior
apartment complex at 3025 Harbor Lane N. in Plymouth. (Submitted photo: Eric Reiners, Sperides

Just Sold: Senior housing developer expands
site plan
By: Anne Bretts February 14, 2020 6:00 am
Editor’s note: Additional details in the transactions come from Plat Research, the Minnesota
Secretary of State’s Office, company documents, online real estate listings, F&C archives, CoStar
and other research. Some purchase prices and per-unit calculations have been rounded.
A Bloomington developer planning to start work this month on 130 units of senior housing in
Plymouth has paid $4.98 million for a 4-acre site at 3025 Harbor Lane. In a change from its
original plans, August Development has relocated more than two dozen businesses and will
demolish the 45,641-square-foot Plymouth Office Center, built in 1973 on part of the site, which
lies in the northwest quadrant of Highway 55 and Interstate 494.
The new L-shaped, four-story building will include independent senior units, assisted-living
units and memory-care units.

“This our fifth project,” said Bo Nickoloff, managing partner for Augusta. The company also has
senior projects in Edina, Richfield, Minnetonka and St. Paul. The name of the center and the cost
haven’t been disclosed.
Nickoloff said he originally planned to keep the office building, but negotiated a price that made
it feasible to buy and use the entire site.
An entity named GCP Augusta Plymouth closed Feb. 6 on the acquisition of the building and
land from RSOC Real Estate Holdings in Plymouth. The $4,981,500 price works out to
$1,245,375 per acre.
The seller is an entity related to Plymouth-based Stern Real Estate Services, according to records
on file with Hennepin County and the Minnesota Secretary of State’s office. The property last
sold in 2002 for $6.95 million.
Place: 3025 Harbor Lane, Plymouth
Price: $4,981,500; $1,245,375 per acre
