"These beautiful trees will give your home in Florida lovely flowers with pink, yellow and white colors," said John Rosenow, the Arbor Day Foundation's founder and chief executive. "These trees are perfect for large and small spaces, and they will provide food and habitat for songbirds."
The free trees are part of the foundation's Trees for America campaign.
The trees will be shipped postpaid at the ideal time for planting, between Feb. 1 and May 31, with enclosed 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.
