Free trees


Here is a site that provides jobs for the disabled and will send you free trees for the s/h charge of 7.95. Looks like they are bare rooted and small but may be worth it. I don't have room to plant any trees so I can't verify the service-just thought I'd pass it on if anyone wanted to try. Found it cruising the internet.
These are the trees they offer:
Arborvitae 'Green Giant'

Austrian Pine

Colorado Blue Spruce

Crape Myrtle

Ginkgo

Kousa Dogwood

Laurelleaf Willow

Nanking Cherry

Pin Oak

Pink Flowering Crab

Redbud

Red Maple

Thornless Honey Locust

White Dwarf Flowering Crab

White Pine

I have ordered from them,2 red maples.and they have other plants too,I have 2 autumn clematis,they are all doing well so far. A worthwhile organization I think....maples are in pots till I get the yard ready for them.
