Tuscarora Golf Club
Memorial Tree Planting Program
In response to frequent memorial tree planting
requests, the Greens Advisory Committee has developed a guide for members
wishing to purchase a tree as a memorial or gift.
There is a tree list available in the Pro Shop
and one will be made available through the website. Trees available are species that either
thrive in our soils, or are native to the surrounding forests.
Tree size will be 3-4 inches in trunk
diameter. All trees will be ball and
burlap instead of container grown. A
plaque is available, if desired, that can be affixed to the trunk of the
tree. A sample plaque will be made
available at the Pro Shop.
Trees will run between $300 - $600 depending on
species. Price includes:
Tree pick-up and delivery, planting and care for the life of the
tree. If the tree is damaged in any way
that kills or otherwise requires its removal, the club will replace the tree at
no charge. Planting will occur in late
fall, winter, and early spring only.
Please call Steve Kurta, Golf Course Supt. for
more details or questions. 315-604-6298 or email at greensforged@gmail.com
Tree Locations
Tree placement will depend on course routing, species requirements, and tree size at maturity. We will try to take your specific site location requests under consideration, however, all final decisions will be made by the Superintendent and Greens committee so the tree has the longest lifespan.
