Tree Fredericksburg Free Native Tree & Shrub Giveaway
Tree Fredericksburg will launch our Fall Native Tree & Shrub Giveaway on Wednesday, September 4. The free plants will initially be available only for residents of zip code 22401 until Wednesday, September 11. We will then open the registration to everyone else on Wednesday, September 11. Any orders received before September 11 from any zip codes other than 22401 will not be honored.
We will be giving away 3,500 native trees and shrubs in either one-gallon or three-gallon containers. Each family may reserve a maximum of five trees and/or shrubs. The pick-up date for the reserved plants will be Sunday, October 20th, from 1 pm – 4 pm at the Fredericksburg Nationals Stadium, 42 Jackie Robinson Way, Fredericksburg 22401. All plants must be picked up in-person by you or your designee. Any plants not picked up by 4 pm will be forfeited. No exceptions. No plants will be held past that date/time. We have streamlined the pick-up process, and you should be able to receive your plants in less than 10 minutes.
Reservations for the trees/shrubs will be made available until all are gone. If you are unable to reserve plants, you may come to the event at 4 pm and possibly obtain some of the unclaimed plants via lottery. We will begin taking reservations on our website on 9/4 (only from residents of zip code 22401).
A description of the trees/shrubs available this year can be found on our website ww.TreeFredericksburg.org
At the event, if weather permits, we will have information tables and sales of native perennials. We will also have a number of trees and shrubs available for sale that we have grown – Beauty Berry, Redbud, American Holly, Oaks and more. More information will be forthcoming on what will be available for sale and the costs.
No Commercial Entities may apply for this event. This is strictly for residents only. Tree Stewards will be on hand to teach proper planting and answer questions from the public.
