Who decides what kind of tree gets planted in the right-of-way in front of my house?
The City follows the “right tree in the right place” policy for tree plantings. However, the City does so in partnership with residents. Before a new tree is planted, Urban Forestry staff will contact the property owner and offer them a choice of tree species based on growing space, maintenance requirements, and irrigation needs. If the resident does not have a preference, then the City will select the tree species appropriate for the planter space.
