Order a $25 tree to plant this spring
The Minneapolis Tree Sale begins March 7 at 9 a.m. for Wards 3, 4, 5, 6 and 10. This is a special opportunity for specific wards to purchase trees before other neighborhoods of the city (citywide sales begin March 21). Trees are $25 each and there are several varieties available. Tree Distribution will be May 21-23 at the Minneapolis Impound Lot. Visit treetrust.org for more information.
Trees are available for Minneapolis property owners including residents, businesses and nonprofits. Choose from several varieties and sizes of trees, including fruit trees. First-come, first-served – order early for best selection. Limit one tree per property, maximum five properties.
Healthy trees look beautiful in your neighborhood, increase property values, help clean the air you breathe, absorb carbon dioxide, save on your energy bills with strategic planting, keep the city cooler in the summer, provide homes for wildlife and help manage storm water.
