Free Trees for Hounslow Residents 22

Thank you

The Free Trees has ended

The Free Trees scheme has now ended for the year.

The London Borough of Hounslow has a commitment to significantly reduce our Borough’s carbon footprint by pledging to plant 7500 trees this 22/23 planting season and help our local community get more involved with the environment they live in.

During the winter of 2023-2024, 750 fruit trees were offered to residents, schools, community groups and faith groups, so that together we could make a difference and make our Borough Greener!

About the Trees

There were 6 tree species available; fit for small, medium and large sized gardens. The tree types were:

Brown Turkey Fig
Apple 'Elstar'
Apple 'Golden Delicious'
Pear 'Doyenne du Comice'
Victoria Plum
Hazel ‘Kentish Cob’

Trees will be approximately 60cm in height. All trees will come in a pot and will need to be taken out and planted into the ground during their dormant stages.

Any Free Tree obtained through this scheme should only be planted on land you own unless you have an agreement with the private landowner.
