Free Trees!

If you are a resident of LA, you can get a free shade tree:

If you do not live in LA, you can get ten "free" trees with a $10 Arbor Day foundation membership:

What if you live in an apt?

Seriously though, Sacramento did this last I checked too. I think you could even get fruit trees up in Sacramento.

Heh...I'm trying to get rid of trees on my property. You can have them for free. Bring your own chainsaw.

How do you get the trees when you sign up? Do they drop them off or do you have to pick them up? Do they plant them by chance?

Somewhat of an answer

Your 10 free trees are guaranteed to grow, or the Foundation will replace them free of charge. Your six to twelve inch trees will come postpaid (Free shipping) with easy planting instructions.

Any idea how long this will go on?

If they are not too large, you may be able to sell them for $300 - $500. Someone will show up with a big truck and scoop it out of the ground. Then they will resell it to someone that wants mature trees for $1000 or more.

I don't know who to call, sorry. Try landscaping companies.

That is smokin hot! If I was a home owner in LA, I would hit that up!

Palm Trees are so expensive that people actually steal them by ripping them out of people's yards. They go for 5 figures if not more.

Actually a couple are dead and others are just overly tall nuisances that we're worried about falling on the house. We've got a guy that will cut them down for $50 each. We're leaving all the nice thick trunked trees.
