Here are some FUN FACTS about the trees we are giving away at the event!
- Douglas-firs are not fir trees, or spruce or hemlock, it is its own special type of tree with only a few species found in North America and Asia.
- The bark of ponderosa pine has a unique smell that resembles butterscotch.
- Netleaf hackberry is small and gnarly in stature but tough in nature! Once established it can handle heat, drought, and strong winds.
- The slightest breeze will cause the leaves of quaking aspen to tremble, in the fall it looks like fluttering gold.
- Although giant sequoias are long lived and get very large very quick, they are an endangered species. If you have a big space and big heart, this big tree might be for you!
The Kiwanis Club of Fircrest will also be onsite serving up some hot drinks!
