Thats right opened that puppy up to find one of those waterproof envelopes, pull on it and it doesn't come out.  "Hmm" I reach in to pull out a big long envelopes with live trees in it.  Curious thing huh?  I donate $10 to the Arbor Day Fund and I get live trees in my mail box.  Oh and a magazine, coupon and a lands end catalog.  Clearly the trees were the most exciting.  I can't wait to plant them this weekend.  Give a couple to my mom, one or two to a neighbor and going to enjoy the rest in my backyard.  Take that global warming!  :0)  Enjoy some snap shots of the package.

 

*edit* Types of trees - 2 sargent crabapple, 2 eastern redbud, 2 washington hawthorn, 2 white flowering dogwood, 2 goldenrain tree and 1 fragrant lilac

In order to identify the trees they paint them above the roots.  :0)
