TREE FAQS
How do I order trees?
Submit this Order Form through Neighborhood Forest. Once you submit the form, Neighborhood Forest will send you an invoice to complete the order.
When do I need to order trees by?
The sooner the better! Tree orders must be submitted by March 15th.
What kind of trees will I receive?
Neighborhood Forest aims to provide native or fruit bearing trees. Trees are 6-12" in size and have a soil-plug around the roots.
When do the trees arrive?
Trees are shipped to arrive to the address you provide us by April 20th (ahead of Earth Day)
What do I do when the trees arrive?
Keep the trees in a cool place until you are ready to unpack, bag, and distribute the trees to kids. Be sure the soil around the roots stay damp. If they are drying up, please spray the roots with water to keep them moist.
How should I distribute the trees?
Your trees will come with recycled paper bags with planting instructions on them. Please place 1 tree in 1 bag per child.
Sometimes deciduous trees appear to look like just a stick since they are still dormant. Kids may say “My tree is dead,” rest assured if the soil/roots are moist the tree is alive!
