In October 2019, Dallas was hit with a devastating tornado. As part of ongoing recovery efforts, the Texas Trees Foundation is partnering with the Arbor Day Foundation and International Paper to give away 500 free trees to Dallas residents who were affected by last year’s storms.

Registration is open and continues until all trees have been allotted. The trees will be available for pick-up Saturday, October 31st.

This round, the available species are:

• Texas Redbud
• Chinkapin Oak
• Shumard (Red) Oak
• Desert Willow
• Red Maple

All of these are great Texas trees, but if you wonder which one might be best for your yard, get in touch with your arborist. We are happy to make a recommendation!

For more information about the tree giveaway and to register, visit the Texas Trees Foundation site.

At Texas Tree Surgeons, we love trees and we love our customers, and we are excited about these local programs to encourage tree planting! If you have any questions about the best way to plant a tree, or any other tree questions, let us know!
