The Moore Soil and Water Conservation District is encouraging residents to begin thinking about tree planting time.
The district is now accepting orders for the 2022-2023 planting season. The best time to plant trees is December through March.
You may now place your order for trees to be picked up mid December. You will be called when they arrive.
Orders will continue while supplies last. You are urged to order early due to species being sold out as the order season progresses. There are three selections available currently to choose from: containerized longleaf at $1 each, one-gallon pots of blueberry bushes for $10 each (blueberry bushes need a pollinator) and the Red Althea, also known as the Rose of Sharon, for $7.50 each. Red Althea is two feet tall and branched transplanted.
All proceeds benefit the District Scholarship Program
To place an order, mail a check made payable to the Moore Soil and Water Conservation District, P.O. Box 908, Carthage, NC 28327. Enclose a note listing the kind and number of trees desired. Make sure to include your name, address, and telephone number on your order.
For questions concerning the order, call (910) 722-3166.
