This award is presented on Arbor Day , in Hoopes Park. In addition to meeting these standards, West Chester has an aggressive Tree Planting Program. Prices change seasonally, so call 696-6121 to place an order and confirm prices. Pre-payment is required on all trees and the check is to be made out directly to the wholesale nursery where the trees are purchased.
Homeowners are responsible for watering the tree once a week and more frequently during dry spells.
Orders for spring planting should be placed by February 28th and fall planting by August 15th. The earlier you place your order, the sooner the Borough can plant your tree and the better selection you will have from the nursery. If you have a concrete sidewalk and want a tree planted, it is your responsibility to have the sidewalk cut for the tree. The Borough is not responsible for any trees that are vandalized or die. The following are a list of trees that are best for street planting.
