I've just read this in my local paper
http://www.gazette-news.co.uk/search/3931098.Colchester__Council_gives_away_free_trees/
"Free trees are again being given away to Colchester’s schools, residents and parishes next year.
In celebration of Colchester Council’s third Trees for Years Initiative on Saturday, January 24, residents will be able to collect their free trees to plant at their own properties.
The event takes place between 10am and 3pm in the Rowan House car park, with trees up for grabs including two species of fruit bushes, raspberry and blackcurrant, in a bid to encourage people to grow their own food.
In total there will be nine different special varieties available, which are suitable for all sizes of garden, ranging from a silver birch to a field maple."
For more info you can phone 01206 282903
