Disney sells tree planting kits to kids
How many varieties of six- to 12-foot maple trees does Friends of Trees provide at discounted rates?
Ten.
The Walt Disney Company?
One—and it is not at a discounted rate.
Well, Walt wasn’t in the tree selling business, but Disney is now offering a special Toy Story Space Alien Tree Planting Kit that comes with Red Maple seeds.
Friends of Trees doesn’t sell Red Maples because they have aggressive root systems that can damage urban infrastructure (curbs), but other species like the Vine Maple, Rocky Mountain Glow Maple and BigLeaf Maple are available.
While the planting kit looks like a good gift for an up-and-coming arborist, at $19.50 it may be hard to pass up on a large, developed street or yard tree from Friends of Trees.
