We're celebrating Florida Arbor Day NEXT Saturday, January 17 with a Florida elm tree giveaway for SVEC members. 150 trees will be available at our co-op on a first-come, first served basis, beginning at 9:00 a.m., while supplies last.

This native tree provides beautiful fall colors and is considered is a great choice when choosing a long-living shade tree. Capable of reaching 60-80 feet in height, Florida elm trees must be planted farther than that from overhead power lines.

There is a limit of one tree per membership and proof of membership must be provided, such as a current SVEC bill or SmartHub account.
