Tree Sales Update

Tree Trust offers municipal tree distributions every year in order to increase the tree canopy in the Twin Cities. Planting a tree is the easiest way to improve property values, reduce energy needs, and improve our air and water quality. 

This is Tree Trust's sixth year offering the Minneapolis City Trees program in partnership with City of Minneapolis, and the third year of a partnership with the City of St Louis Park to provide the tree sale to city residents. It is the second year of a partnership with State Farm Insurance to provide trees to residents affected by the May 22nd, 2011 tornado. Thanks to the Cities of Minneapolis and St Louis Park, and State Farm Insurance for making these programs possible, and thanks to all the people who purchased trees to help green our community.

St Louis Park Tree Sale

The St Louis Park Tree Sale has not sold out yet! We have just under 100 trees still available to residents of St Louis Park. Prairifire Crabapple trees have sold out and some varieties are limited. Order soon to make sure that you can get a tree this year!

If you ordered a tree, you MUST pick it up Sat, May 5 from 8AM-12 noon or on Mon, May 7 from 5-7 PM at Tree Trust's office at 2231 Edgewood Ave S, St Louis Park.

North Minneapolis ReForest Project

Thanks to State Farm Insurance, Tree Trust is providing free trees to North Minneapolis residents who live in the tornado-affected zone. Many trees were lost in the tornado, and this tree distribution is part of Tree Trust's efforts to replace the tree canopy through the North Minneapolis ReForest Project. There were 400 trees available and approximately half of those have sold. Order soon to make sure that you can get a tree!

If you ordered a tree, you MUST pick it up on May 12th, 7AM-3PM; May 13th, 8AM-4PM; or May 14th 3PM-7PM at the Minneapolis Impound Lot at 51 Colfax Ave N. If you are unable to pick up your tree, you may have someone else pick it up for you. The morning of the 12th will be the busiest day with the longest wait times.

Minneapolis City Trees

This program has risen in popularity over the years and this year we sold out of trees faster than any ever! 1,500 trees went on sale at 8 AM on Monday and they were all gone by Thursday. 

If you ordered a tree, you MUST pick it up on May 12th, 7AM-3PM; May 13th, 8AM-4PM; or May 14th 3PM-7PM at the Minneapolis Impound Lot at 51 Colfax Ave N. If you are unable to pick up your tree, you may have someone else pick it up for you. The morning of the 12th will be the busiest day with the longest wait times.
