2012 Tree Sale
Tree Sale!! It’s that time again.
Again
this year, the district has ordered large
 quantities
of trees to sell. We have ordered White Pine, Norway Spruce, Blue Spruce, Red
Oak and Flowering White Dogwoods. The White Pine and the Norway Spruce make a
very good windbreak. They both grow relatively fast and have fairly good
survival rate. Now, the Blue Spruce grows a little slower but they make a
beautiful ornamental tree when they mature. The Red Oak is a slow growing
hardwood, excellent for shade. Each year we try to have something different so
this year we are selling the flowering white dogwood. They have clusters of
beautiful white flowers up to 5 inches in diameter that bloom in May and bright
red berries in clusters in the fall for food for the birds.
We
wanted to make everyone aware that we had to change suppliers this year. Carino
Nurseries has stopped handling bare root stock, so we had to do a little
shopping around and we are now purchasing trees from Musser Forests, so the
prices have gone up from last year.
Now for the most important part:
In the past we have allowed people to pay for their trees when they pick them up
but we are changing the way we do things and you will need to pay for the  trees
when the order is placed.
We
take orders until all the trees are gone so call early to make sure that you get
what you want. The trees should arrive around the first part of April and we
will
call
as soon as the trees arrive and are ready for pick-up, so mark your calendar. If
you have any questions, or are interested in purchasing trees please contact
Karen or Tony at the Fayette County SWCD at 618-283-1095 ext. 3 or submit the
below online order form.
