Need a new tree? Learn about trees for any situation Saturday morning, Jan. 26, during free workshops at

Set for 10 a.m., “Find the Right Tree for Your Landscape” will be held simultaneously at all five Green Acres locations in Sacramento, Elk Grove, Folsom, Rocklin and Roseville. Experts will share advice on how to select the best tree for any location and growing conditions from a container on a small patio to a steep slope in the foothills. Trees appropriate for lawns also will be discussed as well as what size tree to plant.
Factors such as eventual size, growth habits and water needs will be covered as well as guidelines for planting and year-round care. See many examples in the nurseries as well as get recommendations for specific situations.
This free seminar is part of Green Acres’ weekly series, scheduled for 10 a.m. each Saturday.
