Get A Free Desert Tree At Lowes On Saturday

In honor of Earth Day this Saturday, April 23 2011 Lowes is giving away a free tree to each customer! The trees are region specific so you won't have to worry about getting a free tree that won't grow out here in the desert. For those of you reading this in Vermont or Florida or Oregon don't worry, this free tree promotion is nation-wide!

I'd show up early for this one because the trees are available only while supplies last (no rainchecks).

Update Saturday, April 23: I went to Lowes in Phoenix and the free tree is a cardboard palm (zamia furfuracea), which needs semi moist soil to thrive. So much for region-specific! I planted it and the tree promptly died three days later. I ruined the environment more by driving to Lowes to get my free (soon to be dead) tree than I would have if I'd just stayed home and had a coffee on the patio. Such is life. :)
