About Carino Nurseries

James L. Carino and Laura Carino

Carino Nurseries, a third generation family run business, was founded by the late A. F Carino in 1946. In the beginning, the nursery was used primarily to supply planting stock for the reclaimed areas of the Carino surface mining operations. As time went on, it gradually developed into one of the Largest Commercial bareroot seedling nurseries in the country.

About the same time in 1946, Mr. Carino began his Fresh-Cut Christmas Tree operation by planting Scotch Pine seedlings on areas of the various mining properties, which were not disturbed by the mining. At one time, Carino Nurseries was one of the Ten Largest Growers of Christmas Trees in the United States!

Today, Carino Nurseries continues to be the operated by members of the Carino family. In the past, James L. Carino, son of A. F. Carino, envisioned the production of the finest planting stock and Christmas Trees in the industry. Today, central among his goals which he shares with his daughter Laura Carino and nephew Douglas Wilhide, is the continued fulfillment of those desires.
