Plant to Remember - Memorial Tree Program

 

Planting a tree is a beautiful and lasting way to honor a friend or memorialize a loved one.  Fill out the attached application indicating your preferred location and type of tree and mail with a check to the address provided.  You'll not only be giving a perfect gift for a birthday, graduation, wedding, or retirement, but you'll also be giving a gift to your community.  Honorees will receive a certificate, and their names will be listed on our webpage and placed on a plaque for display at the High Point library.

  • Applications are accepted throughout the year but must be received with enough time for the city Parks & Rec. Dept. to arrange for tree planting during the fall planting season (Nov.-Feb.) when all trees will be planted.
  • Donation amounts include the replacement cost for trees that die within the first 2 years.
  • All donations are tax deductible.

Choose a city-owned facility, such as a city park or golf course as the preferred location for your tree.

 

Then choose your preferred type of tree:

Variety Size Height (at planting)
Shade Trees ($100)
Red sunset maple 15 gal. 8 – 9'
Autumn blaze maple 15 gal. 8 – 9'
Willow oak 15 gal. 7 – 8'
Dura heat river birch 15 gal. 8 – 9'
Flowering Trees ($100)
Yoshino cherry 15 gal. 6 – 7'
