Free Trees! (Update: ALL GONE!)

WOW! We are blown away by the excitement for these trees! 100 bundles of tree saplings (500 trees in total!) were all picked up within 4 hours! We weren’t expecting them to go THAT quickly!

If you were one of the lucky ones that receive a bundle, please plant the trees AS SOON AS POSSIBLE and check out this video on how to plant! If you weren’t able to get here before all the trees were claimed, keep an eye on your email next spring — we will be doing this again! :)

How to Plant Your Trees!

STEP 1

Soak your tree sapling in water for 5 to 7 minutes to thoroughly moisten the sapling’s root system.

STEP 2

Select your tree planting site. Avoid planting your sapling within 5 to 10 feet of any large obstructions such as mature trees or buildings.

STEP 3

Measure the sapling’s base of the root to its root flare to determine the depth of your hole.

STEP 4

Dig your hole!

STEP 5

Ensure that your hole is of the appropriate depth. To do so, place your sapling in the hole and ensure that the root flare is equal with the surrounding soil level. 

STEP 6

Make adjustments to the hole’s depth if necessary.

STEP 7

Fill in your hole with the dug-up soil. Lightly compact the soil as you begin to reach ground level.

STEP 8

Ensure the root flare is fully exposed to oxygen and not mounded with soil.

STEP 9

Take a picture and tag @RussellTreeExperts on Instagram & Facebook! You are now finished planting your tree sapling!
