Notes:

Yard trees must be planted on private property (not in the public right-of-way).  Planting along the street requires a site inspection and issuance of a City permit in advance.  To apply for a free street tree, complete and submit this application.

 

Limited quantities of the following trees are still available for purchase:

Fruit Trees:

Stanley Plum Prunus domestica 'Stanley' This popular European plum is an excellent producer, yielding large bluish-purple, tender fruits with sweet, juicy, yellow flesh.  Fruits ripen in early September and are good for fresh eating, drying, and canning.  This hardy, vigorous tree matures at 15-20 feet tall with a 15-30 foot spread.  It is self-fertile, though yields more heavily when pollinated by another plum variety.

Shade/Ornamental Trees:

	Frontier Elm Ulmus x 'Frontier' The Frontier Elm reaches 30-40 feet with a 30-foot spread and features a striking, long-lasting burgundy fall color. This hybrid elm matures to an oval shape and shows good tolerance to drought and to Dutch Elm Disease.
	Emerald Sunshine Elm Ulmus propinqua 'JFS-Bieberich' Maturing to 30-35 feet with a 25-foot spread, the Emerald Sunshine Elm features a traditional vase shape but has a stronger, more defined central stem than most elms. Its leaves emerge coppery-bronze before maturing to glossy green with rich yellow fall color, sometimes with purple tints. The Emerald Sunshine is highly resistant to heat, drought, disease, and insect attack.
	New Horizon Elm Ulmus x 'New Horizon' This cold- and urban-tolerant, disease-resistant hybrid elm matures into an upright oval shape and reaches 40-55 feet with a 25- to 40-foot spread.  Its large dark green leaves turn yellow in the autumn.
