free tree

Now i can tell my friends im growing some 'tree' ;-) Oak arrived! I wonder if I have it long enough if it will... Force me to rake my desk.
 
I gave it a whirl. I don't know where I will put it, but, it is a baby tree much like my daughter and she can watch it grow with her.
 
I got mine, came in a huge tube like a movie poster would come in.

Its about 12" tall and about 1" in diameter.

It came in addressed to the dog, but she wont be using it as a toilet.

Same here. They must know Minnesota is repulsive so they didn't bother sending it; so as not to subject a baby spruce to such a horrible, horrible, horrible place.

It is because they know it will get harvested as an x-mas tree once october hits.
 
anyone from Louisiana get one??? Im in alexandria and no free tree :(

thanx
 
I got my tree on saturday, white oak..

Its currently sitting on top of my fridge in the case it came in :cool:
 
This thread actually made me laugh reading some of the responces. Who knew people would get so worked up over a tree :D

I registered today, but something tells me I am to late in the game to get my tree.
 
Ordered a spruce. Have enough Pin Oaks around here already. Most I planted myself from
acorns several years ago. A couple are over 30 feet tall now.
Also have a smaller white oak decended from the "Maryland Charter Oak" from a promo
after the famous 300 year old tree blew over in a storm. Legend has it Gen. Washington's
troops camped next to it during the revolution.

Can't believe so many haven't heard of free trees in the mail before. There was a big project in
the 80's where you could order free Pine trees from the Govt. Was all over the schools.
 
It came!!!!! ordered a Oak got a pine :D :D but I got my tree


thanx
 
Wow! Does that mean I will get a sycamore since I ordered a spruce? - lol :D

Does it say what kind of pine you got?
 
Got mine... I didn't order a Pine Tree... but still its a tree for free.
Looks lively too.

 
I really hope I get the oak, I don't want another pine tree, infact, I am going to cut one down, along with an improperly placed oak and maple.

Spruce is a pine, both are coniforous trees.
 
I got a Loblolly Pine, funny thing is I just took a class with a Russian teacher here at aTm who is obsessed, it seems, with the exact same tree.

Kinda funny...I guess

In Soviet Russia, trees plant you.

Got mine today as well... nice little Ponderosa Pine.

Now I gotta find a good spot for it, so I can bring my grandchildren to it in 50 years and tell them I got it for free on the internets! =)
 
P-Pines are great.

It seemed to take forever to get mine. Don't know the exact wait, but it seemed long.

I am going to post pics of my little guy this weekend. :D

*EDIT*
I got a Spruce, which is what I ordered. :D
 
I got mine a couple days ago, its chilling in my fridge until I figure out where to plant it. My mom and sister are going to order a couple more, so I'll see if it'll work more than once. In case this hasn't been answered yet, it took about a month for me to get my Ponderosa Pine :)
 
Haven't received my tree yet. Still a couple weeks since my order so no worries.

If anyone wants to extend their interest in planting a small tree beyond the free check out this :

Poplar, Beech, Almonds, Apples, Dogwood, Walnut, Cherry, Holly ... etc ... etc ........
