Friblegs DECIDUOUS SHADE TREES 
The trees listed here are called deciduous because they naturally lose their leaves 
during the winter months. All are hardy anywhere, unless minimum temperature is indi- 
cated. All are easy to grow and some make very rapid growth. 
Shade trees from dormant bare root stock are available for planting from late December 
to mid-March. In any other season, most varieties are available growing in containers.
