It’s that time of year again in Whitewater! In honor of Earth Day, the Whitewater Urban Forestry Commission along with the City of Whitewater will hold our 2nd Annual Community Tree Sale on Saturday, April 22nd from 10 – 4 and Sunday, April 23rd from 10 – 2 . Last year we sold all of our trees in two days so the sale this year will only be for two days instead of last year’s four. Come early so you don’t miss out!
What’s so great about these trees you ask? All of these trees are native to this area of Wisconsin and are usually very hard to find. They are also very reasonably priced because they are smaller than what you’d be lucky to find at a nursery, so they will fit in an SUV. What’s really special though is that these trees have been grown in a process called air pruning which means that they have very well developed, fibrous root systems that will allow the trees to take off quickly once planted. Each tree comes with planting instructions and we will have knowledgeable people on hand to answer your questions. Go to our website at www.arbatstarin.org for a complete list of the trees for sale, their characteristics and pictures so you can start planning! I will note here that our supplier, Possibility Place, lost all of their Ironwood trees this winter, so though these are on the list, they will not be available for this sale, we’re sorry! Hope to see you at the Tree Sale!
*This sale is held to provide native trees to area residents. Prices are just enough to cover the cost of the trees and their transportation. Last year they were $30 to $65 and will be that or very close to that again this year.
