Feel free to forward this notification to whomever you please.</p>
<p> The free trees are 1 – 3 foot tall oaks, Kentucky coffee trees, Russian hawthorns, Ohio buckeyes, bald cypress, horse chestnuts, tatarian maples, choke cherries, ginnala maples, honey locusts, lindens and catalpas. There are also some golden currants and red-leafed roses. All trees are drought resistant, but of course will grow faster and fix more carbon with extra water.</p>
<p> We are located at 4340 13<sup>th</sup>, one block east of Broadway between Upland and Violet. Look for "Nelly-Belle the Carbon Cart" in front of the house and pick out your trees. Planting instructions are in a box on the cart. More information about planting your tree may be found at this link: <a href="http://www.neighborhoodchristmastreefarm.com/freeseedlings.html">http://www.neighborhoodchristmastreefarm.com/freeseedlings.html</a> More information about the various tree varieties are at this link: <a href="https://www.neighborhoodchristmastreefarm.com/2022%20Tree%20Descriptions.pdf">https://www.neighborhoodchristmastreefarm.com/2022%20Tree%20Descriptions.pdf</a> </p>
<p> Please be sure to plant your trees right away and take good care of them. It won't help the climate at all if you plant a tree, and then kill it with neglect. Planting trees helps sequester carbon in the soil and combat global warming. Trees can also make your life much more pleasant and cool!</p>
<p>Hope to see you on Saturday! Elizabeth Black and Christopher Brown</p>
