The Quick 10: 10 Trees that Changed the World
February 10th, 2012
Spring is a great time to plant trees, and at iTrees.com you can plant your way to a colorful spring display! The spring season is a perfect time to plant trees: the weather is mild, and the trees respond well to transplanting this time of year. When trees are planted in the spring, they can start growing right away and recieve nourishing spring rains. This helps them establish well before the following summer season. Experts agree that spring planting is an excellent option for tree planting.
Spring is best known for colorful blooms in the landscape, and at iTrees.com we have a spectacular array of trees to choose from! If you are looking for more color in your yard this spring, then click on our Flowering Trees category at www.iTrees.com for an assortment of fantastic spring choices.

Here is a link to a great story about how much cooler it is under the shade of a tree. The report was generated by Trees Forever based in Iowa, and it was recently published on the Alliance for Community Trees website. Both of these great organizations we are proud to support!
If you click on this link http://actrees.org/site/news/newsroom/it_really_is_cooler_in_the_shade.php?tag=news you can read about this interesting study. They used the 4-H youth to test temperature differences around the community in the summer & found temperature differences of up to 55 degrees coller in the shade!
Basically this supports what we already knew - TREES ARE COOL!!!
