It would appear that there's a flowering tree sale on the 28th, being held at Philips and Emerson, with prices at $10 a tree and the proceeds going toward tree plantings. I can't be there to go, so spreading the word is the next best thing I can do for the group.
Thanks for the heads up. I think I'll be checking it out.
Welcome to MetroJax Kelly!
Count me in, me and my other half need a Drake Elm for the front yard.
Get there early!!!
Is there normally a large turnout? I'd like to get a hold of an Oak or two and maybe a Crape Myrtle.
Kelly probably knows more but I seem to remember them selling all the "good" trees before noon.
Yeah you have to get there early. I went last year at around noon, and there was nothing left, at least nothing worth taking.
I went there a few years back at 7 i the morning and there were cars just lined up everywhere. when i got to the front all the good trees were gone, only regular oaks and maples were basically left.

A huge turnout, get there early right when it starts. there are a couple of native plant vendors that show up and have some very unique plants from north florida south georgia.

Nah, man, I just found this on the internet. Good to see the interest, though!
