2014 Update: The 2014 tree sale is slated from 8AM-Noon on Sat., April 26, the day after Arbor Day.
Popular Annual Event Features a Wide Variety of Tree Species
The City of Naperville reminds residents and interested parties that the Department of Public Works will host its annual Arbor Day Tree Sale on Saturday, April 28 from 8 a.m. to noon at the Public Works Service Center, 180 Fort Hill Drive.
The public 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.
Attendees may pay by either cash or check, and all trees purchased at the sale must be removed by noon. Trees will be located inside the Public Works Service Center to avoid the public standing outside in the event of inclement weather. 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 be available. This booklet can be found 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 22 consecutive years. For more information on National Arbor Day, visit www.arborday.org.
