In this episode, we walk you through the best practices for safely transporting a tree from the nursery or garden center to your home. Whether you're picking up a sapling or a larger container-grown tree, we’ll cover everything from securing the root ball and protecting the branches, to choosing the right vehicle and tying down your load. Tune in for tips that will help you avoid common mistakes and give your new tree the healthy start it deserves.

In this episode, we dig into one of the most important (and often overlooked) principles of urban forestry: planting the right tree in the right place. From avoiding overhead wires and underground pipes to choosing species that thrive in city soils and support local ecosystems, we’ll explore how smart tree selection can lead to healthier neighborhoods, longer-lived trees, and fewer maintenance headaches. Whether you’re a homeowner, community volunteer, or just tree-curious, this episode will help you plant with purpose.

Selecting a tree for your property is outlined in this episode of the latest podcast from ReGreen Springfield.
