Tree Sale
The Spring Tree Sale is now sold out.
Parks and Recreation experienced a much higher volume of calls than we have had in the past and apologize to the large number of people who were not able to get through our calling system. If you left a voicemail your order was not processed as all trees were sold out. We are working to improve the ordering system for our Fall Tree Sale in October 2022.

WHICH TREE IS RIGHT FOR ME?
Select trees based on their height and spread measurements (listed below). These numbers represent the tree's size at maturity to help you estimate the space requirements of your new tree.
Where and how do I plant my tree?
Instruction on properly planting a tree can be found here.
Please plant the tree at least 2 meters from any City property line. This will ensure that ownership of the tree remains clear throughout the tree’s life. Following a similar guideline for planting distances from adjacent private properties is also recommended.
Please do NOT plant trees on City property. Tree planting on City property is done by the City staff and takes into consideration existing or planned infrastructure, environmental needs, and neighbourhood characteristics.
