Your Neighborhood Christmas Tree Farm will once again have 589 small seedling trees to give away this summer, starting Saturday May 30th at 7AM. The give-away will run until all the trees are gone. This is the 20th year we have given away trees and our 10,970th tree was given away last year. Please do not call or email us. Just show up on the 30th.
Trees are 1-3-feet-tall, with the following species and (numbers available): American plum (122), Linden (11), Russian hawthorn (37), Ohio buckeye (55), horse chestnut (36), honey locust (40), chokecherry (30), Colorado blue spruce (58), Doug fir (21), Ponderosa (7), hackberry (40), and Tatarian maple (13). There are also some golden currant (10), raspberries (12), red-leafed rose (37), autumn clematis (6), aggressive rose (7), rabbit brush (34), and coyote gourd (13). All trees are drought resistant, but of course will grow faster and fix more carbon with extra water.
We are located at 4340 13th, 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: https://www.neighborhoodchristmastreefarm.com/freeseedlings.html More information about the various tree varieties is at this link: https://www.neighborhoodchristmastreefarm.com/2026%20Available%20Seedling%20Trees%20May.pdf
Please be sure to plant your trees right away and take good care of them. It won't help the climate 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!
Hope to see you on Saturday May 30th! Elizabeth and Christopher
