Residents must use the Town’s new online ordering system to purchase trees. Please use this link to make your purchase: https://online.carletonplace.ca/bare-root-trees
To ensure the Town of Carleton Place’s tree population is maintained and enhanced for years to come, we are making trees available to Town of Carleton Place residents at a subsidized rate. For $25.00, a tree of 25mm (1 inch) in thickness and 5′ to 8′ in height will be made available. Trees are available ONLY to taxpayers of the Town of Carleton Place and must be planted within Town limits.)
Species available are:
Large Trees:
- Autumn Blaze Maple
- Sugar Maple
- Red Oak
- Hackberry
Smaller Trees:
- Serviceberry (Tree Form)
- Honey Locust
- Showy Mountain Ash
- McIntosh Apple
- Cortland Apple
Prior to selecting your tree, please consider the proposed location for the tree. Residents need to ensure that it will have sufficient space and consider its size for the location in the years to come. There is a limited number of trees available. Trees will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis, and there is a limit of two (2) trees per household.
Public Works will announce in CP Scoop when the trees are ready for pickup. Residents must collect their tree before Sunday, May 25th. No refunds will be granted for uncollected trees.
Residents must obtain locates from Ontario One Call (www.ontarioonecall.ca) in advance of planting the trees. There is no fee for acquiring locates. Obtaining locates can take two (2) to three (3) weeks to acquire all the necessary clearances prior to digging.
This year’s tree planting information session will be available virtually. The link to the online presentation will be emailed closer to the date. The virtual information session is scheduled for: Wednesday, April 30th at 7:00 p.m.
Because these trees are subsidized, anyone who purchases a tree must attend (or have previously attended) the information session.
