Friends of Trees Eugene Metro

Hello and thank you so much for this thoughtful and generous offer! Unfortunately, our organization does not accept tree donations. There are, however, lots of great and easy ways to recycle your trees after the holiday season; since it's a living tree, the best option might be to plant it in your own yard! If there's no room for the tree to grow in your yard, we recommend using the tree to make mulch for other plants and trees! There are also a lot of local BoyScout Troops, sports teams, schools, and other organizations that would greatly appreciate your tree after the holidays. Thanks again for the offer, I hope this helps!

Hey ~ Those trees are called "Chitalpa" (Chitalpa tashkentensis). These trees are a hybrid of Southern Catalpa (Catalpa bignonioides) and Desert Willow (Chilopsis linearis), and do quite well at tough sites such as Bethel Drive! I'm glad you like them ~ we're pretty fond of them ourselves, since they are so drought-resistant and have such beautiful leaves and fragrant flowers.
