Grow A Tree
This Grow-A-Tree kit comes with everything you need to grow a tree from seed! The kit includes seeds, a growing medium, mini green house and detailed growing instructions!
FLOWERING CHERRY BLOSSOM
Cherry blossoms are richly symbolic, and have been utilized often in Japanese art, manga, anime, and film, as well as at musical performances for ambient effect. The flower is also represented on all manner of consumer goods in Japan, including kimono, stationery, and dishware. Here's a Grow Kit in our classic Parks Collection interpretive packaging that can bring the beauty of two different cherry blossom trees to your own yard or garden, and, each spring, you'll be greeted by a riot of white-to-pink flowers in celebration of your home's very own Cherry Blossom Festival!

RED MAPLE
Red Maple is an abundant, adaptable species, widely planted as a shade tree from coast to coast. Red twigs, branchlets, and buds give Red Maple its name, as does the brilliant scarlet color of the tree’s fall foliage. A beautiful, seasonally entertaining tree that can grow in many locations. Highly soil-tolerant, and adaptable to all kinds of climates.

ANCIENT BRISTLE CONE PINE
The amazing Bristlecone Pine is perhaps the world's most ancient living organism. The oldest still-living specimen is almost 5,000 years old — that means it is more ancient than Stonehenge, the Acropolis, and even Cheops' Pyramid!

WHITEBARK PINE
The Whitebark Pine inhabits high mountain realms well beyond the limits of other tree species. In these subalpine ecosystems (at elevations of up to 12,000 feet, on exposed slopes subject to hurricane-force winds and temperatures down to -60° F), Whitebark Pine is not only a great survivor; it’s a great provider — a source of food and shelter for many high country animal and bird species. Unfortunately, with warming planetary temperatures, the Whitebark Pine species is now at a critical turning point. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service has found that the Whitebark Pine Tree is in imminent danger of extinction due to a trend of warmer winters that have allowed native mountain pine beetle populations to grow out of control and wreak havoc throughout higher elevations in Whitebark Country. Now is a great time to grow a Whitebark Pine!

QUAKING ASPEN
Populus tremuloides, also known as “Golden Aspen,” “Quaking Poplar,” and “Small-toothed Aspen,” among other common names, makes its glowing presence known throughout all the great Mountain systems of the United States and Canada. The species’ immense range spreads all the way down into the mountain ranges of Mexico, as well. Every account of early western exploration includes mention of the remarkable beauty of the Aspen groves encountered in the mountains. As one naturalist wrote: “Where the deer bound, where the trout rise, where your horse stops to slather a drink from icy water while the sun is warm on the back of your neck, where every breath you draw is exhilaration — that is where the Aspens grow.” A gorgeous tree with unmistakable white bark and heart-shaped leaves in perpetual, shimmering movement, Aspens are a graceful addition to any yard or garden, providing beauty throughout every season.

FLOWERING DOGWOOD
A beloved native throughout the eastern United States, the Flowering Dogwood ranges from as far north as New Hampshire all the way down into north-central Florida. Tolerating a variety of climates and conditions, Flowering Dogwood grows naturally in 30 states and is the official State Tree of both Missouri and Virginia. The Flowering Dogwood makes a marvelous addition to yard or garden, displaying nice symmetry and a rounded form that usually does not require pruning. These qualities, along with the Dogwood's attractive red berries, gorgeous fall color, and its famous spring bouquet of bright white flowers make the tree a highlight in many landscapes.

TULIP POPLAR
One of the finest and largest of the eastern American hardwoods, the Tulip Poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) graces yards and gardens from coast to coast in the United States, also ranging up into Canada and down into Mexico. The Tulip Poplar commonly attains heights of 80 to 100 feet and trunk diameters of 2 to 5 feet, but can grow much larger and much taller — in fact, it is the tallest native deciduous tree in America. This impressive tree features an unmistakably unique leaf shape, wonderful, bright yellow fall colors, and showy and fragrant tulip-shaped summer flowers, from which the tree takes its name. While the Tulip Poplar is valued as a street, shade, and ornamental tree, it is also an important timber tree, whose wood is used for boat-building, furniture, and other purposes. It is also important to wildlife, attracting honeybees, butterflies, birds, and other wildlife with its spicy, aromatic fragrance. The Tulip Poplar is the State Tree of Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee.
