Common Hackberry fall colorRemember way back in April when I wrote about the city of Ottawa’s TREE Program? Well, my delivery day is fast approaching!

I received a letter today explaining to me that my would be delivered to me sometime between September 22nd and October 2nd and will include everything I need to this right away: a sapling, some , a pot, some nutrients and compost.

I wonder what kind of it will be? They no promises that you’ll get a of your choosing (you choose 3 options on your application) but they do say that they try their very best to get you one of your choices. I chose, in order:

  1. Japanese lilac
  2. Hackberry
  3. Crabapple

I’ll be taking the up to my parent’s house to on their farm. My mom is very excited to see what we get and has a place picked out for it already. What a better way to show my commitment to than to a ! I’ll be sure to post some pictures/ when the comes. I’m so excited!

What are you waiting for, residents? The next tree delivery season is May/June so be sure to fill out your application now! Don’t have anywhere to put a ? You can also fill in a form recommending a spot for the city to plant a tree for you.
