The trees will be shipped postpaid for planting between Oct. and Dec. 10. The 6- to 12-inch trees are guaranteed to grow or they will be replaced free of charge. Easy-to-follow instructions are enclosed with each shipment. New members of the Arbor Day Foundation also will receive “The Tree Book,” which includes information about tree planting and care.
