Free Trees

The Arbor Day Foundation will mail you 10 free trees with a 6-month membership, which costs $10. You type in your zipcode, and they give you a list of tree packages that are suitable for your climate. You can choose from flowering tree mixes, maples, oaks, evergreen mixes… I called the national office to ask about fast-growing trees that work well in my clay soils – the representatives were very helpful! Your 10 free trees are guaranteed to grow, or the Foundation will replace them free of charge. My trees came yesterday, so now I just need to figure out where to plant them!
