The City of Harmony is pleased to offer the 2025 Tree Program.

All trees available through this program are of high quality, well-branched, and provided either potted or as bare root at the time of planting. The listed price includes planting of either bare root or container trees, as well as the installation of hardwood mulch around the base of each planted tree. Each tree is carefully fertilized, mulched, and watered after planting and comes with a one-year guarantee.

The City of Harmony will cover 50% of the cost for trees planted within the boulevard.
To qualify, trees must be planted within 12 to 25 feet of the curb and cannot be placed beneath power lines. The City is responsible for maintaining clearance around power lines, while the maintenance and care of trees remain the responsibility of the property owner.

If you wish to purchase a tree for planting outside of the boulevard, you may still order at the full list price. Orders, along with payment, must be submitted by May 12th 2025.
