Good things grow on trees. Find yours at Friends of Trees.

Our online store is live! Add your name to the growing list of people who want trees at FriendsofTrees.org/BuyTrees. The sooner you sign up, the more selection you’ll have.

For $35 to $75 you get a tree, delivery, hole digging, planting assistance, stakes, and follow-up maintenance checks. You’ll also be invited to a neighborhood potluck after the planting.

If a planting isn’t scheduled in your neighborhood yet, contact Andy Meeks at [email protected] to learn how you can bring a planting to your neighborhood.

What good things grow on trees?

Conservation: Tree shade can help cut your energy costs by 35 percent during the summer.

Health: Trees clean our air, water, and soil for an all-around healthier city.

Community: Tree-lined streets calm and slow traffic. This creates safer neighborhoods and happier people.

And yes, even money grows on trees! Planting trees on your property can add $7,000 to the value of your home.

If you have questions about your neighborhood planting, email your neighborhood coordinator by typing your neighborhood’s name plus “@PlantItPortland.org.” We have a complete list of neighborhood coordinator e-mails on our blog, Growth Rings.

Find out more about Plant It Portland, our three-year campaign to plant thousands of trees across the city. Watch for Plant It Vancouver signs, too—and new trees at homes in Beaverton and Gresham.
