If you don’t think buying a live tree is in your cards this holiday season, there’s still ways you can help support the trees. Tree Utah plants large trees in public spaces such as city parks and play grounds. You can help Tree Utah by volunteering to plant even more trees in communities across Utah.
Fun fact: Quaking Aspen is Utah’s state tree. Pando, an aspen grove in Sevier County, is the largest living thing on Earth—a metaphor for our time, because aspens grow in colonies, all connected by their root systems. But Pando is possibly dying from mule deer predation. Many landscape designers warn homeowners not to plant aspen because “they’ll take over” your yard. We can think of many worse fates than being surrounded by aspen trees.
