Private Property Tree Planting

Private Property Tree Planting

A permit is not required for planting trees on private property. However property owners should consider the following when planting a new tree: planting location, tree type, size at maturity, cold hardiness, maintenance requirements, etc. Remember to have utilities located by Gopher State One Call before you dig.

Helpful Planting Information:

• Consult the United States Forest Service's Tree Owner's Manual for all the information on selecting, planting, and maintaining a tree.
• Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Tree Planting and Care webpage.
• Consult the Saint Paul Recommended Tree Species List
