By adopting a tree, you can help increase public awareness and enhance the educational value of the Arboretum. Existing trees are available for adoption in all areas of the arboretum as a memorial, special gift or to commemorate a special event. When you adopt a tree, a bronze plaque will be installed identifying the tree species and its adopting family. Upon request, the City will purchase and plant a tree in the City parkway on a first-come, first served basis. Several varieties of trees are available.
Planting is done in the early spring.
Site eligibility and species will be determined by the City. Tree Pruning Tree are pruned and lifted for pedestrian and traffic clearance as well as selective thinning of branches, removal of dead wood, or storm damage repair. Trees are not topped. In addition, stumps are ground out.
