Tree Planting Request Form

Please note: Submitting this request form does not confirm you will receive a tree.  The Urban Street Tree and Park Planting program is based on a first-come, first serve process and is weather dependent.

Caring for your Tree

Once a tree is chosen and planted, you will be required to care for the tree. The City will provide instructions on caring for that particular tree so that it thrives in it's environment. Below are some general tips to follow:

• Keep lawn mowers and string trimmers away from the base of the trunk to avoid damaging the bark
• Water, but do not over water your tree. Provide a deep watering twice a week during dry periods. If a water-bag is provided, please fill it once a week to ensure the tree is adequately watered.
• Please leave the wood chips in place. Wood chips protect the tree from damage and reduce water loss allowing water and nutrients to penetrate the soil more easily
• Do not pile soil or grass clippings over the mulch
• If additional mulch is needed, do not mound the mulch towards the trunk like a pyramid
• Do not encourage your children to climb the tree
