Landowners can choose from 24 different species of deciduous trees, evergreen trees, and shrubs, each of which are suited to unique soil and weather conditions. Included in the sale is a variety of maple trees, spruce, oak, and dogwood, as well as new species such as sycamore, pussy willow, Kentucky coffee tree, and many more.
