Arbor Day is Friday, April 26. If you want a free tree, you can click here:
I love trees but live in a tough spot to keep them alive, unless they are Ponderosa pine.
We have semiarid climate, clay soil, dry summers and my particular place lives in a valley where a cut in the hill provides a nice little wind tunnel for wind from Hades.
But that doesn't stop me. We had one tree on our one-third acre when we moved here fourteen years ago. Now, i'm guessing, we have 50 various bushes, evergreens and trees of various sizes and varieties.
The previously mentioned website to get the free tree is kind of cool. It zooms in on your property and shows you the best place to plant a tree to save on your heating and cooling bill. Also estimates the amount of money you save and some global warming gobbledygook.
Never one to turn down a free plant, I put in an order for an oak tree. Come by in 100 years and check it out.
