About the Tree and Shrub Sale
Each year , Plymouth city staff selects plants that are well - adapted to local growing conditions and resistant to pests and diseases . They serve as good replacements for ash trees affected by Emerald Ash Borer or invasive species , such as buckthorn . They also provide food and shelter for pollinators , butterflies and other wildlife .
Most of the trees are 5 - 8 feet tall at the time of purchase and are bare root , which means they do not have soil on the roots . Bare - root trees cost less , are easier to transport and have up to 200% more roots than the traditional balled and burlapped plants . They are also easy to plant .
Evergreen species come in pots and are 1 - 3 feet tall , while shrubs are bare root and 2 - 3 feet tall .
