Getting 10 Free Trees
We have joined the arbor club to beautify our community. For a 6 month memberhip,which cost only $10.00, we get a book on how to grow trees, we will get 10 trees for free,and they will be put in the front of the road,and that when they get tall enough, they wil hide the viewing of our home. This is done as a security measure,and a way to beautify our property. It also is a good idea to have our communities to shine with the colors of different type of trees. So we have decided to get pink and white trees, which will come in a size of 3 feet. They will be a nice posession for our front of the property.

We did that when we first moved in to our house and had nothing at all in the back yard. When the "trees" arrived, they were tiny babies--basically just little twigs with roots attached. We planted them, and most of them died, but the ones that survived--an apple tree and a golden fringe tree--grew huge and are still beautiful and bloom every year--and the apple tree grows apples, even though we got it just for the blossoms Even though only two of the ten ultimately survived, they are worth many, many times more than we donated. We're very happy!
PS - My advice is to give them plenty of room when you plant them. Allow a good ten feet at least between each one. They spread out way more than you think!

I think that will be good not just good but great for the mother earth to add another trees that will help us to improve communities in terms of having more trees that can really help our health too.

That's an absolute bargain! We've got some Rowan trees, an apple tree and Japanese Barberry in our front garden to give us privacy. Just make sure you're not planting them too close to your neighbours/your home as the roots can damage foundations.
