Free plants Residents of California can ring in the New Year with five free Crape Myrtle trees by joining the Arbor Day Foundation any time during January 2015. “These small flowering trees will provide any landscape in California with a splash of color for much of the year,” said Matt Harris, chief executive of the Arbor Day Foundation. “Members will experience pink and red flowers in the spring, green foliage in the summer and a mix of red, orange and yellow during autumn.” The free trees are part of the nonprofit Foundation’s Trees for America campaign. The trees will be shipped postpaid between Feb. 1 and April 30, with planting instructions. The 6- to 12-inch tall trees are guaranteed to grow, or they will be replaced free of charge. Members will also receive a subscription to the foundation’s bimonthly publication, Arbor Day, and The Tree Book, which includes information about tree planting and care. To receive the free trees, send a $10 membership contribution to 5 Crapemyrtles, Arbor Day Foundation, 100 Arbor Avenue, Nebraska City, NE, 68410, by Jan. 31. California residents can also join online at arborday.org/january.
