Hundreds Of Trees Given Away
January 20, 2012
Hundreds of trees were given away in Century Thursday as part of a Florida’s Arbor Day celebration.
Escambia County, University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Science (UF/IFAS) Extension, and Florida Forestry Service teamed up to give away Shumard Oak, Bald Cypress, River Birch, Mayhaw, Chickasaw Plum and Wax Myrtle seedlings.
Extension Master Gardeners were also available to advise participants on tree types and tree placement in the landscape.
A similar program was held Friday in Warrington.
The Arbor Day Celebration is funded through the U. S. Department of Agriculture and Florida Forestry Service with a grant administered by Escambia County Community & Environment Department.

If you did get a Mayhaw tree, they do need two different varieties or species if you want them to produce fruit….. Please look here to get the most from your trees, these make the best jelly and syrup I have eaten, and I can a lot!

I am so upset that I forgot to call my daddy and tell him to get a mayhaw tree. I love mayhaw jelly and he could have planted one at the back of his property that stays wet. Dang it……
