Receive 10 free flowering trees by joining the Arbor Day Foundation any time during January 2012.
By becoming a member of the nonprofit Arbor Day Foundation, you will receive two white flowering dogwoods, two flowering crabapples, two Washington hawthorns, two American redbuds and two goldenraintrees.
"These beautiful trees will give your home in Nevada lovely flowers with pink, yellow and white colors," said John Rosenow, chief executive and founder of the Arbor Day Foundation. "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 nonprofit Foundation's Trees for America campaign.
The trees will be shipped postpaid at the right 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.
Arbor Day Foundation members 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 become a member of the Foundation and to receive your free trees, send a $10 contribution to Ten Free Flowering Trees, Arbor Day Foundation, 100 Arbor Avenue, Nebraska City, NE 68410, by Jan. 31, 2012. You can also join online at arborday.org/january.

'tree' is totally correct on these seedlings. During our first year in NV - about 10 years ago - I got this offer in the mail; think I sent the Foundation $10 for these 'trees'. A pencil thickness would've been nice; I think only one of the bunch was even half that size and most were like heavy string or yarn. i had one that survived but is only a few feet tall and had to be babied until I put it in the ground a couple years ago when it was finally big enough to survive our winters - this was after raising it in my greenhouse.
Be aware these free trees are one or two year old seedlings and are very tender. Only about 12 inches tall and no thicker than a pencil. Some are not suited for our local soils and weather and take special handling to get them to grow. But it's for a good cause.
