Things to note:

  • Trees are only available to residents of Fayette County

  • One (1) tree per address

  • Trees/species are in limited supply and will be given out on a first come, first served basis.

  • All trees will be in two (2) or three (3) gallon containers with potting soil. We recommend bringing a towel or tarp to set trees on if transporting inside your vehicle.

  • Trees need both love and care, especially in the first few years of their establishment. Receiving one of these trees means you commit to keeping it watered (10 gallons/week or 1 inch of rainfall), mulched, and fertilized (if needed). We are available to help with questions related to tree care as they grow!

  • Due to street tree species requirements set by the City of Lexington, we advise you to apply now for a permit with "acceptable species" indicated where prompted for species information. We suggest choosing 3 street tree friendly species you'd be happy with since our giveaway is first come, first served.

We recommend most of these trees for open front and/or back yards.

Some trees are acceptable species for street trees, and require a permit before planting. The process is simple! Browse the acceptable species and apply for a permit today!
