ONLY IF YOU PLANT TREES IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

HERE'S HOW: https://treephilly.org/street-trees/

OPTION THREE (applying through PHS treetenders) IS USUALLY FASTEST, DEPENDING ON YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

SORRY ABOUT THE SHOUTING -- I'VE HAD A LONG DAY, BUT I GET REALLY EXCITED ABOUT PLANTING TREES IN PHILLY.

Agreed, it's super important to spread the word! I applied and got denied (they said my sidewalk is too narrow), but if I can't have a street tree, everyone else should get one!

Did you apply through the city, or through tree tenders? The way it seems to work is if you apply through the city they will automatically deny you for literally any reason. I have multiple friends who were rejected by the city, but later got one through tree tenders.

If you were rejected by tree tenders but still want a tree... I know an arborist who will cut a tree pit and plant one for you, but it's not free.

I applied through the city. Thanks for the heads up, I'll try again through tree tenders.
