City Plants Yard Tree Home Delivery
馃嚭馃嚫 Los Angeles, CA, United States 路 City Plants (City of Los Angeles / LADWP)
Up to 7 free 5-gallon shade trees per household delivered to your door
City Plants, a City of Los Angeles program funded by the LA Department of Water and Power, delivers free shade trees for residents to plant in their own yards. Trees come in 5-gallon containers, 3 to 5 feet tall, with more than 30 water-efficient species to choose from. The LA Conservation Corps delivers in about 8 to 10 weeks and you plant and water them yourself.
Who qualifies
Residents of the City of Los Angeles; the page states a 7 tree limit per household. The delivery page itself does not spell out further requirements (the related adoption page requires a City of LA address proven by photo ID or LADWP bill).
How to apply
Apply online through the FreeTreesLA registration form linked from the Yard Tree Delivery page (optimized for Chrome on a PC or laptop; allow pop-ups). Trees are delivered in 8-10 weeks. Call DigAlert at 811 before digging, plant 15-20 feet from the foundation, and water 10-15 gallons once a week for the first 3-5 years.
