Native trees (you dig!) (Ann Arbor Northwest Side)
3d
- These are mostly young sugar maple trees, and one native spruce coniferous tree [promised] (which is a bit more established, so will take more work to dig). We love our native trees, but when they come into full leaf in the extension, they block road visibility, so we're hoping to find some appreciative homes for most of them! Bring your shovels and pots/bags/etc. to try to successfully transplant these saplings! Upon your arrival, I'll mask up and direct you towards the ones we're hoping to part with most. Thank you!
