Dear Philly Orchardists,
Interested in a free fruit tree?
POP is partnering with TreePhilly to give away a limited number of fruit trees (25 total) to city residents in May. TreePhilly will be delivering these trees directly to recipients!
POP partners, we encourage you to share this with specific individual members of your community who may be interested (or to sign up on their behalf if needed). Please do not repost to other email lists, etc!
Here's the list of what's currently available (25 trees total):
Trees | | Shadblow Serviceberry | 3 | Amelanchier Lamarkii - Serviceberry | 2 | American Plum | 5 | Fig - Chicago Hardy, Celeste, Italian Honey | 5 | European pear - Ayers, Harrowsweet, Moonglow | 5 | Mulberry | 5 |
| |
For more information on the available tree options above, visit the
TreePhilly page and scroll down to their fruit tree section. Tree selections available only while supplies last!
NOTES:
1. Only Philadelphia city residents are eligible.
2. Trees must be planted in ground in yards or community green spaces, not as potted trees or street trees.
3. Since we have a very limited number of trees (25 total), we ask that you please only select one tree for now. We'll repost the offer again if all are not claimed.
4. If you have the means to purchase your own tree or live in a neighborhood with good existing tree coverage, please also consider giving others a chance to claim these trees first. Again, we'll repost again if trees are still available.
Here's the link to register to receive a tree:
