The two species available this year are native trees highly recommended for this area. The Allegheny Serviceberry (Amelanchier Laevis) is a small flowering tree (15-25 ft) with year-round interest and high wildlife value. It prefers part sun to shade and can tolerate a moist location. You can view it on this site.

The Yellow Poplar/Tulip Poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) is a fast-growing large canopy tree (70-100 ft) also with high wildlife value. It prefers a full to part sun location. You can view it on this site.

The trees will be delivered in one-two gallon containers and their height should range between three and five feet. This is a good size for transplanting and future growth success, and is small enough to handle with ease.

Trees will be available for pickup from the Barcroft community house on Saturday May 10th. County Tree Stewards will also be on hand to give a planting demonstration, and will provide detailed instructions, maintenance tips, and general guidance.

Don't miss out on this great chance to get highly recommended trees for your yard at the same time that you are helping to replenish Barcroft's declining tree canopy.
