Goals:
Plant 1,000 trees in Cambridge and Rockdale by 2020. Progress report: 870 trees planted in Cambridge/Rockdale!
Increase diversity of species in our community forest. In 2004 70% of trees in the Village of Cambridge were ash and maple. While time-honored favorites, such as birch, maple, redbud and oak are available through our program, we are proud to offer numerous unique species which will increase much-needed species diversity.
History: Founded 2007 in Cambridge
Who can buy trees? Anyone - regardless of where one lives. Those living outside the villages of Cambridge and Rockdale will need to pick their trees up in Cambridge.
Photo Gallery of Trees:
$38 Redbud:two years after planting, pictured in June. This tree grew to 14' tall in six years.
$38 Red Buckeye - This tree was only three years old when pictured but was already producing red flowers. It's one of the few trees that consistently flowers in deep shade. Growth has averaged 15" annually in our yard and reaches only 20 feet tall making it an ideal tree for small spaces or patios. Fall color is not impressive but during the summer the leaves look nice.
Miscellaneous $38 Trees: Left to right: chinkapin oak, river birch and red oak.
$38 American Hornbeam (Musclewood) Fall Color: Grows in sun or shade to about 15 feet. Smooth gray bark and fast growth when young, averaging 22" annually locally with a good mulch ring and supplemental watering.
