Historic West End TreeAdoption

October 9, 2021, 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM

TreesCharlotte is excited to bring our TreeAdoption event to the Historic West End, generously sponsored by Wells Fargo. We invite residents living in the Historic West end neighborhoods to pick up trees at the Northwest School of the Arts. 

To ensure the event runs smoothly please read the details below carefully:

Here’s what you need to know: 

  • You must pre-register. Registration opens at 10:00 am Monday, September 20(link will be provided by community leaders) and closes when we “sell-out” of trees or at 11:59 pm Thursday, September 30. 
  • Each Historic West end only! Each address can get up to 2 trees. While the registration form does not limit the total number of trees, households requesting more than 2 trees will be notified and removed. Proof of residency within the Historic West End (ie: driver’s license, utility bill, etc) must be shown at the event.
  • A valid email address is required to register.
  • 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 6-10 feet tall, and weigh about 10-15 pounds. The mulch weighs 25 pounds/bag. Links to the species we are offering are provided below.  Please do your homework first to ensure you’re putting the right tree in the right place. Once registered, selections are final and cannot be changed.
  • TreesCharlotte will send a follow-up email with planting instructions – including a planting video – watering instructions and specific information about the species you select.

TreesCharlotte is a non-profit organization that relies on donations to be able to host events like this. Donations are greatly appreciated and help us give more trees to Charlotte residents. If interested please click HERE

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. If you have questions about the trees below you can contact Kate Bolkin at kate@treescharlotte.org
