This weekend, Progress Energy is giving away free trees at various Central FL locations. The types include Dalhoun Holly, Eastern Redbud, Firebush, Simon’s Stopper, and Wild Coffee.
Here’s the text from the email I received about the event:
Wind-blown trees and limbs are a leading cause of power outages. Pick up a native, low-growing tree — a better choice to plant near the lower-voltage power lines that are common in most neighborhoods — at one of these Know Where You Grow tree giveaways; limit one per household.
