You must live within Orlando city limits to get a free tree from the City of Orlando.

Check Your Address

Step 2.Choose your tree type

We offer various species of canopy and understory trees. Due to supply and/or seasonality, some species may not always be available.

• Canopy trees can be planted if the right-of-way is at least 6 feet wide. These trees will grow taller.
• Understory trees are best if you have overhead power lines or a narrow parkway, as they grow shorter than canopy trees.

Step 3.Submit your request

We partner with arborday.org for online requests. The tool will help you outline your property lines, determine where to avoid power lines and place your tree to maximize shade and energy savings.
