When these trees couldn’t be sold, they were donated to become new orchards instead

Lauren Cormier, a purchaser at Fedco Trees, said it became evident around March that they would not be able to hold its annual spring tree sale at their Clinton warehouse. Fedco didn’t want them to go to waste. About half of the thousand trees were distributed to organizations, community gardens and individual homes of the various tribes throughout the state, including the Houlton Band of Maliseets, the Aroostook Band of Micmacs and the Passamaquoddy Tribe.
