Tree Allies plans fall tree sale with limited species, minimal markup and end-of-October pickup
Summary
Tree Allies will offer a curated list of trees from Woody’s Warehouse/Tree Farm for a fall sale, apply a minimal even-numbered markup, accept personal checks into a Tree Allies fund, and schedule pickup likely at the end of October.
Tree Allies members agreed to use a list from Woody’s Warehouse/Tree Farm for their 2025 fall tree sale and to offer a limited set of tree species. Tree Allies member Mike Beam proposed categories and a tree list; Heidi Boyle supported the approach. The group initially discussed a 50% markup but then agreed to apply only a minimal, even-numbered markup to retail prices.
Members agreed the group would order all trees, stage a single pickup and dispersal event likely at the end of October, and accept payment via a Tree Allies fund that Larry Beiter will set up to receive personal checks. Amber Lane suggested including a visual of a 3-gallon tree size in promotional materials to prevent buyer disappointment; Mallory Abel proposed using the Tree Allies newsletter format to offer trees and Mike agreed to share the town newsletter to prompt interest.
The plan is intended as a practical, low-overhead fundraiser and community service: a curated offering, modest markup, and a single pickup day to simplify logistics.
