Hi
I love the planting of trees. However, in my Master Gardener training, there is a caution for them. The commercial process of tree production has a lot of carbon involved with it. The average commercially produced tree lives 12 years. It’s carbon emissions in it’s production and planting takes 30 years to make up. So that was my question in the discussion frame.
Just something to consider.
Best, Cheryl
Jay Hayek is interesting in assessing funds to purchase replacement trees for the NRES Oak-Hickory Arboretum at the southwest corned of Race & Windsor from Forest Keeling Nursery. The size and prices are at 3 gallon & 3 gallon CG (conservation grade) trees, and $13-20 each. Jay is looking to purchase 15-20 trees for spring 2022.
Jay Hayek reached out to request access to funds to purchase some replacement trees for the NRES Oak-Hickory Arboretum at the southwest corner of Race & Windsor. Specifically, Hayek is looking to purchase 37 3 gallon & 3 gallon CG (conservation grade) oak and hickory trees. Price range $13-20/each for the desired size and species. He is wondering if he would be able to buy the trees online using his P-card and then do an internal funds transfer, or if the purchase order route is preferable.
