Free flowering trees for PA residents

NEBRASKA CITY, Neb. — Ten free flowering trees will be given to residents of Pennsylvania who become members of the Arbor Day Foundation this months. The free trees are part of the nonprofit Foundation’s Trees for America campaign. Those who join the Foundation in January will receive two white flowering dogwoods, two flowering crabapples, two Washington hawthorns, two American redbuds, and two golden raintrees. “These compact trees were selected for planting in large or small spaces,” said John Rosenow, chief executive of the Arbor Day Foundation. “They will give your home in Pennsylvania the beauty of lovely pink, white, and yellow flowers -- and also provide winter berries and nesting sites for songbirds.” The trees will be shipped postpaid at the right time for planting between February 1 and May 31 with enclosed planting instructions. The six to twelve inch trees are guaranteed to grow or they will be replaced free of charge. Members also receive a subscription to the Foundation’s bimonthly publication, Arbor Day, and The Tree Book, which includes information about tree planting and care.
