Fall Tree Sale!
We're celebrating fall with a tree sale. Choose from 9 different types of tree to help support Keep Kingsport Beautiful. Each tree costs $40.
RED MAPLE
Loved for its vivid fall colors, the Red Maple earns its name with its red flowers in early spring, red twigs of new growth, red fruit and spectacular red leaves in the fall. The Red Maple is quite drought resistant, but will grow in wet areas as well. It tolerates most any soil type. A rapidly growing tree that can add two to three feet of growth each year, it grows to mid-size to large. It makes an excellent shade tree.
SWEET GUM
The American Sweet Gum, with its star-shaped leaves, neatly compact crown, interesting fruit, and twigs with unique corky growths called wings, is an attractive shade tree. It’s known for its unique star-shaped leaves with outstanding yellow, red, and purple fall color.
Serviceberry
A Serviceberry is a genus of about 20 species of deciduous-leaved shrubs and small trees in the rose family. It's native to temperate regions in the Northern Hemisphere. The serviceberry is relatively little, some are small trees, others are multi-stemmed and some are shrubs. The bark can be gray or brown and its flowers usually appear in early spring.
SYCAMORE
This tree is an immense durable tree with a rapid growth rate and expansive root system. It has an upright, pyramidal crown when young and as it matures develops a rounded, irregular form, with a scaffold of large diameter branches. The most unique feature of the sycamore tree is its camouflage-looking bark.
BALD CYPRESS TREE
This tree is a deciduous conifer, meaning, it loses its leaves in the fall and new leaves emerge the next spring. It thrives in a range of conditions. Bald cypresses are well-adapted to wet conditions along riverbanks and swamps. They are also found in dry areas and are frequently planted as ornamental trees.
RIVER BIRCH
These trees are a popular choice for landscaping due to their attractive bark, fast growth rate, and tolerance of wet soil conditions. They are also a vital source of food and shelter for wildlife such as birds and butterflies.
WILLOW OAK
This tree is frequently planted along streets and in parks and golf courses because of its size, striking appearance, and relatively fast growth.
SWAMP WHITE OAK
This is a striking tree with attractive peeling bark, which is especially prevalent on young trees. The lustrous, lobed leaves have a two-tone appearance, dark green on top with a silvery-white underside. Fall color is an orange-gold to yellow in mid-autumn. The swamp white oak is an excellent shade tree for any landscape.
RED OAK
This is one of the faster growing oaks for the home landscape. The leaves are handsome throughout the year, emerging pinkish-red, turning lustrous dark green in summer, and changing to russet-red to bright red in autumn. Its tolerance of salt and air pollution makes it a good tree for more exposed areas.
