What to do with trees in containers?

7 years ago

I live in Seattle and have four trees (all types of cedars) planted in rather large containers by the previous owner of my home. Two are about 5 feet tall and two are about 10 feet tall. I no longer want them and hate to just destroy them. Any thoughts on what I could do with them / where I could donate them? Thank you!

Try Craigslist. Or a neighborhood Facebook page. I sold off a major portion of a former Shoreline area garden using Craigslist. Somebody will want some large growing trees - especially if free - for screening or forestation purposes.
