Street Tree Care Pledge:
I will plant my street tree(s) as specified on this pledge, and on the planting guide. I will plant and leave my trees in my front planter strip. I will water my tree(s) during the summer months for at least the next three years. I will carefully watch over my tree(s) and let the City know if I think there is a problem. I will not use "weed and feed" fertilizer around my tree(s). I will keep weeds and grass from growing in the mulch bed around the tree(s). I will not use a "weed whacker" or lawn mower near my tree(s), as they are the number one killer of young trees. I will not plant flowers or plants within the mulch bed. I will not "top" the tree(s).

By checking this box, I have read, and agree to follow, the above conditions.

(Requests will be accepted until 11/1/2008)

If you feel that you cannot follow the conditions of this pledge please contact the City as soon as possible.
