Arbor Day Tree Sale to be Saturday, April 30

Naperville's Department of Public Works will host its annual Arbor Day Tree Sale from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday, April 30 at the Public Works Service Center, 180 Fort Hill Drive.

Naperville residents will be able to select from a large variety of trees at tremendous savings for use in beautifying their yards and helping sustain the environment. Many different varieties of trees will be for sale, including various maples, crabapples, ornamental pear, magnolia and redbuds.

A listing of the species available, along with prices and more event information, can be found at www.naperville.il.us/arbordaytreesale.aspx.

The sale is for Naperville residents only, with a limit of four trees per household. Residents may pay by either cash or check, and all trees purchased at the sale must be removed by noon. All trees available for purchase are container grown, so they are easier to transport than trees that are wrapped in burlap. Public Works employees will be on hand to help load trees into vehicles. No commercial sales will be allowed.

Morton Arboretum experts will also be at the event to answer tree questions, offer planting advice and distribute tree literature. The “Trees for Naperville – Tree Selection and Planting Guide” booklet will also be available. This booklet is also available on the city's website at www.naperville.il.us/treeguide.aspx.

The City of Naperville has been named a Tree City USA by the National Arbor Day Foundation for 20 consecutive years. For more information on National Arbor Day, visit www.arborday.org.
