Tree Planting Certificate

A ‘Certificate of Authenticity’ ready for framing will be sent to the donor after the sapling has been planted. The certificate will identify the name of the donor and the recipient. It will also cite the planting location, tree type and planting date. To assist with finding your tree, the certificate will also come with a photograph showing the actual planting location complete with GPS coordinates.

The Tree, The Location, The Caring

The plant will be shade or ornamental tree. The final selection will be based on site suitability. The tree will be a high-quality, nursery grown specimen between 8 to 10 feet in height. Trees purchased before February 1 will be planted the following spring, April 1 thru May 30; any tree purchased after this date will be planted in the fall, September 1 thru October 15. The planting location in parks or cemeteries* can be chosen by the donor or by RITree.

All program trees will be maintained for 3 years after installation. Care will include annual mulching, pruning and watering. All of these services will be performed by RITree or their affiliates.
