The tree must not be used for resale and or any other commercial purposes. 

Residents will have the opportunity to select a specific tree type on the application form. The Council endeavours to supply the tree type selected but reserves the right to substitute that tree for an equivalent, if the original tree is not available.

Residents will be required to pick up their allocated tree directly from the collection point allocated and must supply the Order ID and also proof of address (which must be within the Council). 

If you do not collect your tree on the allocated date/time and without prior notice, the Council reserves the right to re-allocate the tree to another applicant.
