MINNEAPOLIS — The City of Minneapolis wants to be greener, and now its selling trees at a low cost to make it easy for residents to plant in their own yards.
The Minneapolis Fruit and Shade Tree Sale started this week, with a variety of tree species selling for $30. Households can order up to three, and they will be available for pickup at Jump Lupient Water Park in mid-October.
The tree sale is being put on by the Minneapolis Health Department and Tree Trust. There are dozens of trees to choose from, including various apple trees, oaks and evergreens.
You can order your trees online until Sept. 30. For recommendations for what tree is best for your property, email city_trees@treetrust.org (subject line: Minneapolis Tree Sale). Click here for a guide on how to plant a containerized tree.
