Hindu Center TreeAdoption

November 6, 2021, 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM

We are excited to offer trees to the attendees of the Hindu Center of Charlotte! 

We will conduct a TreeAdoption at the Hindu Center on Sat, Nov. 6th, for residents to pick up and plant trees in their own yards! What a great way to add more shade and beauty to your neighborhood.

Here’s what you need to know:

  • Attendees of the Hindu Center Only: Each household can get up to 2 trees, with a limit of 2 of the same species per household.
  • You must pre-register for the trees. Registration opens at 10:00 am, Monday, Oct. 18th  (link will be provided by the Hindu Center) and closes at 11:59 pm, Thursday, Oct. 28th.
  • Each tree comes with a bag of mulch.
  • You will need to pick up your trees at the Hindu Center, on Sat, Nov 6th, between 10:30-11:30 a.m. If you cannot make this window, please make arrangements with a neighbor to get your trees. 
  • At the TreeAdoption, you will be taught how to properly plant and care for your tree(s).  Tree training is mandatory.
  • About the trees: The trees are in 7-gallon containers, measure 6-15 feet tall, and weigh about 20-25 pounds. The mulch weighs 25 pounds/bag.  Links will be provided below to learn more about each species; please do your homework first to ensure you’re putting the right tree in the right place.  Once registered, your selections are final.
  • TreesCharlotte will send a follow-up email with planting instructions – including a planting video – watering instructions and specific information about the species you select. Tree planting is not provided.

Once known, the available trees will be posted be below. Quantities are limited. Register early to ensure the best selection. 

Selections are final and once registered, cannot be changed.  Be sure to research which tree will work best for your yard before registering.

We are recruiting 5 TreeMasters to help plant trees in the common areas and manage the TreeAdoption on the morning of Nov 6. (Opens Oct 1)
