Minneapolis City Trees distribution details


Here are the details for the Minneapolis property owners who were lucky enough to score one of the 1500 trees for sale through the Minneapolis City Trees sale.

Pick-up times:
Saturday, May 21
7 a.m. – 3 p.m.

Sunday, May 22
8 a.m. – noon

Monday, May 23
3 – 7 p.m.

Location:
Minneapolis Impound Lot
51 Colfax Ave. N.
Minneapolis, MN 55405

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. If you wish to pick out the tree you believe is the best of the bunch, trees are first come first serve; we do not hold trees for individuals.

Trees will be anywhere from 4-8’ tall.  All of these trees are containerized (in a plastic pot). Burlap will be provided for wrapping your tree to protect it on the way home.

For more information on planting your tree, click here. Planting and tree care information as well as species specific information will be provided for you when you pick-up your tree. 

We are still in need of volunteers for this event. You can help re-leaf the city by loading residents' new trees and bags of mulch into their vehicles at our upcoming tree distribution. This is a great event for individuals, families, and small groups. Lifting is required, but partnering up makes it easy. Tree Trust staff will provide a brief training and be present throughout the day to answer any questions. To register to volunteer or to learn more email amandag@treetrust.org or call 952-767-3882.
