PLEASE NOTE BEFORE PLACING AN ORDER:
- Trees must be paid for in advance. Sorry, but once the tree is ordered, we cannot provide a refund. The pickup date is Saturday, May 30, 2026, from 10 am to 2 pm at Bronx Park Community Centre, 755 Henderson Highway.
- This is a “two-gallon container-sized” tree. Its height will depend on when it was picked in its growing cycle but should be around four feet tall. The container is about the circumference of a four-litre ice cream pail and will fit into a regular-sized car. We will have volunteers to help you, should you need it. (Transportation can be messy, so we recommend bringing a blanket or tarp to protect your car interior.)
- Call Before You Dig: Submit your planting location as soon as possible to make sure you are not planting over underground utilities. Contact https://clickbeforeyoudigmb.com/ or call 1-800-940-3447 and allow at least three working days for a response. Trees should not be planted under power lines.
- All our trees come from family-owned Manitoba-based tree farms.
