Picture7-gallon tree example




We want these trees to grow large and stay healthy, so we are offering larger size trees and deer protection to help increase survivorship. We will be giving away 7-gallon container trees, which average 6’ tall when planted (pictured to the left).
​If you were to purchase one of these trees at a local garden center, ​you could pay more than $100 just for the tree!!
