Cheap Trees

Did you know that your electric company sells cheap trees for homeowners? Tucson Electric Power sells Mesquite or Desert Willow trees for $6 each through the Trees For Tucson Program. I got a Desert Willow last month. It was about 4 feet tall and I did everything wrong when I planted it. It fell out of the pot and the dirt fell off the root ball. Plus my hole wasn't big enough. Despite my ineptness the little tree has recovered and is growing vigorously. The last tree I had in that spot cost me $35 from a local nursery. Lets hope I have better luck with my cheap tree. http://www.tucsonaz.gov/tcb/tft/
