Available tree species include:
🌸 ‘Autumn Brilliance’ American serviceberry
🌿 ‘Clarynette’ American hornbeam
🍂 ‘Brandywine’ red maple
🤍 ‘Bracken's Brown Beauty’ southern magnolia
🍁 ‘October Glory’ red maple
💧 Heritage® river birch
🍒 Black cherry
🌳 ‘Princeton’ American elm

To learn more about each species, visit acftrees.org/giveaways.

Whether you're looking for a large shade tree, something suited to a smaller yard, beautiful fall color, or a tree that provides food and habitat for wildlife, we'll help you find the right tree for the right place. Certified arborists and ACFT Tree Stewards will be on hand to answer questions and offer guidance on species selection, planting, watering, and long-term care.

📅 Saturday, February 20
⏰ 9 AM–12 PM
📍 D.C. Virgo Preparatory Academy (813 Nixon Street)

Come find a tree you love, take it home, and help us grow Wilmington's urban forest—one yard at a time. 🌱🏡
