The trees range from 4 feet to 6 feet tall with a 14-inch ball. Residents will need to bring the proper vehicle/supplies to transport the tree to their properties. Tarps, trash bags, or blankets for debris inside your vehicle are also recommended.

If the tree does not entirely fit inside your vehicle, residents should bring something to wrap the tree and cover the branches to protect the leaves and buds, such as bungee cords, rope, or straps to secure your tree.
