2011 Tree Sales

Once again this year, Tree Trust is partnering with both the city of St. Louis Park and the city of Minneapolis to provide low-cost trees to their residents. These programs have been very well received in the past and have added over 6,000 trees to the urban forest between the two cities over the past six years. These programs are a fabulous way for cities to increase their canopy cover without increasing their maintenance costs as trees for both programs must be planted on private property.

For both programs, you will forfeit your tree and the money you paid for it, should you not be able to pick up your trees on the dates specified. You can certainly make arrangements for someone else to pick up your tree, should you be unavailable.

Trees are good. They clean our air, mitigate stormwater runoff, provide habitat for wildlife and even increase property values. Mark your calendar and be sure to order a tree this spring!

Trees are available on a first come first served basis and quantities are limited.
