Published on February 07, 2025
The City of Centennial’s Tree Program is back, offering residents an opportunity to embrace the joys of tree planting while contributing to the community's energy conservation, water preservation and the promotion of tree diversity. Starting today, eight distinctive tree varieties are available for purchase through the program at an affordable price of $85 (plus tax), on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last. Before making a purchase, here's what you need to know about the 2025 Tree Program:
- Tree Specifications: The trees boast a trunk diameter of 3/4"-1" and stand tall at heights ranging from 5-8 feet. None of them weigh more than 30 lbs.
- Planting Guidelines: To participate in the program, residents are required to plant purchased trees on their residential private property within the City of Centennial. Each household is eligible for one tree.
- Warranty Information: While the trees are not warrantied or guaranteed to survive, they are specifically grown to adapt to the local climate and soil conditions, ensuring a generally high survival rate.
- Participant Responsibility: Residents are responsible for picking up and planting their own trees. Additionally, all maintenance, pruning and watering fall under the care of the participants.
- Pick-Up Details: Save the date for Saturday, April 19, when trees must be picked up from the Centennial Civic Center (13133 E. Arapahoe Rd.) between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Before heading to collect your tree, please review the detailed Preparation and Planting Instructions(PDF, 74KB), providing valuable insights into selecting the right location and necessary preparations.
