About Your Tree

Trees being given away at this event are limited to one per household on a first-come, first-served basis, while supplies last.

Burr Oak (Quercus macrocarpa)

Source: Arbor Day Foundation

• Features alternating leaves that are 6 to 12 inches long
• Yields acorns that are larger than most others, with a conspicuously fringed cap that extends about halfway down the nut
• Offers dense shade
• Tolerates pollution and heat stress
• Lives for more than 200–300 years
• Also known as the “mossycup oak”

Butternut (Juglans cinerea)

Source: Arbor Day Foundation

• Develops a short, usually forked trunk with a wide, spreading, open canopy reaching 40 to 60 feet tall at mature height
• About 7-10 months after planting, this tree yields a ripened nut crop in late fall. A thick, brown, corrugated inner shell holds the nut kernel, which has a sweet, buttery flavor that makes it great for baking, confections and fresh eating. Butternut crop is valuable sustenance for wildlife like squirrels, deer, and birds.
• Historically, the inner bark of this tree has been used to make orange and yellow dyes.
