Get Ten Free Trees That Will Grow in Boise
The Arbor Day Foundation will send you ten free trees that are right for the Treasure Valley climate, and they're guaranteed to grow in Boise.
Here's how to get them.
When you join the Arbor Day Foundation in January, they'll send ten free trees your way to plant in your back yard. Or, if your green thumb is on the fritz, you can choose to send the trees to someone else to enjoy.
I did this about five years ago, and they sent me some beautiful trees with names that I recognized. My mom did not pass down the green thumb, but I did my best with the little tiny seedlings when they arrived. They did catch on and grow, and remained disease free and endured the weather and started to thrive. And then I moved to a different house. Oops. My loss.
The cost to join the Arbor Day Foundation starts at ten bucks and then the free trees arrive between February and May -- whenever the Arbor Day folks decide the time is right for planting in Idaho. And they are the experts on these things.
