Johnny Appleseed Street Tree Project

The City of Oakwood and the Oakwood Beautification Committee are no longer accepting applications for this year’s Johnny Appleseed Street Tree Planting Project, which once again offered residents the opportunity to purchase discounted street trees and full-cost trees for private property.  The Johnny Appleseed Project will return next year, and participation information will be shared as soon as it becomes available. We appreciate the community’s continued support in helping grow Oakwood’s tree canopy.

Since its inception in 1976, the program has supported the City’s strong commitment to urban forestry and environmental stewardship, resulting in the planting of over 3,300 trees throughout Oakwood.

Program Details

• Oakwood residents received a 50% discount on the cost of selected species when planted in the city right-of-way.

• Homeowners could also purchase trees for private property at full cost.

• Trees were approximately 2 inches in diameter and well-suited for Oakwood’s environment.

• Areas of the City most in need of trees were given first priority.

• Each approved property site was eligible for one discounted tree.

• Selected species were disease-resistant and chosen for their suitability in our community.

• Trees were guaranteed for one growing season by the nursery with proper maintenance from homeowners.
