HEARTWOOD CHAPTER

At the February Chapter meeting, the Jones State Forest donated 2' tree seedlings to any members that wanted trees for their home. The species available were Dogwood, Red Cedar, and Black Walnut.

Once you got home with your seedlings, did you need more information about how and where to plant these species? What do they need to grow healthy? What do they produce?
