The City of Plymouth’s annual tree and shrub sale begins Monday, March 2 for Plymouth residents.

Non-residents may begin ordering Monday, March 9. Orders will be accepted through Thursday, April 30, while supplies last.

The sale features eight shade trees, three evergreens, seven shrubs and four fruit plants.

About the Tree and Shrub Sale

Each year, Plymouth city staff select plants that are well-adapted to local growing conditions and resistant to pests and diseases. They serve as good replacements for ash trees affected by Emerald Ash Borer or invasive species restoration, such as buckthorn. They also provide food and shelter for pollinators, butterflies and other wildlife.

Most of the trees are 5-8 feet tall at the time of purchase and are bare root, which means they do not have soil on the roots. Bare-root trees cost less, are easier to transport and have up to 200% more roots than the traditional balled and burlapped plants. They are also easy to plant.

Evergreen species come in pots and are 1-3 feet tall, while shrubs are bare root and 2-3 feet tall.
