Forestry Division personnel will plant the trees and provide the initial watering when the freshly dug balled and burlapped trees arrive from our suppliers during the spring planting season. The Forestry Division asks that if you are selected to receive a tree that you assist us in postplanting care. This care would be primarily in the form of watering the tree during dry weather periods. Survival rates have run from 77 to 93 percent over the past few years. Keeping the trees watered and healthy will aid its survival and vigorous growth.
Trees help conserve energy.
