Tree fund

[mooreorless]

Anybody have one of these? We've done this for several years now, we earmark money from our tax return for the purchase of trees for the homestead. Two years ago we planted 4 apple and two peach trees. Last year that money went to trim up some maples that were in pretty rough shape around the house. Had to rent a lift to do it and it turned out great.This year we are going to buy some good sized (6-8') spruce trees to fill in some voids in our windbreak on the west side of the house and a few more fruit trees.
(Didn't know if this thread would go here or homestead topics, if in the wrong place I appologize ahead of time.)

It makes sense to put money away for these types of projects. I usually decide I want something and then try to figure how I am going to get it. Never was one for planning to far ahead. I really enjoy your post moreorless--makes me think>>>>thanks. ;D

I don't have the land to plant trees but I've seen things in the spring from the arbor day foundation giving free trees to plant on your property. I believe you can get about a dozen for free. If I find more info I'll pass it on.

I found the link to the arbor day foundation.It cost $10 to join but you get 10 free trees.http://www.arborday.org/shopping/memberships/memberships.cfm
The web site has info about transplating trees.
