2024/2025 Adopt a Tree Program

Every year, the City of Tallahassee provides and plants trees for eligible homeowners to help cultivate the urban forest canopy. The trees, depending on the species, are between 5 and 8 feet in height and are species native or cultivars of native species to the southeast. Eligible homeowners living within the City limits may request up to 2 trees to be planted in the front yard within 100’ of the centerline of the public roadway and agree to keep each tree watered for one (1) year.

Due to the vast destruction of neighborhood tree canopies during the May 10 tornados, an enhanced program is available during this program year for residents with properties located between Tennessee Street/Mahan Drive and Orange Avenue. Homeowners in these areas will be eligible to request up to five trees. All other requirements of the regular Adopt a Tree program apply.

City staff will assist the homeowner with tree placement and installation. Tree planting will begin in December, and trees are available on a first-come, first-served basis, so get your application in quickly!

All Trees are Adopted for 2024/2025. Come back later in the year for a whole new batch!
