Last chance to register to receive a free five-gallon tree, now through October 8 

October 1, 2025 – Registration for the seventh annual Branch Out Dallas tree giveaway program has been extended through Wednesday, October 8, while supplies last. Dallas residents can sign up online at dallas.gov/BranchOutDallas to reserve their free tree.  

Participants can choose from a variety of tree species including American Elm, Bald Cypress, Chinquapin Oak and Sycamore. Branch Out Dallas supports citywide initiatives aimed at increasing the overall tree canopy throughout the city. Trees assist in reducing the amount of stormwater runoff that enters the drainage systems, help cool temperatures, improve air quality and mitigate the heat island effect.  

Tree pickup will take place on Dallas Arbor Day, Saturday, November 8, from 9 a.m. to noon, at various locations across the city. Please note that tree delivery is not available and reserved trees must be picked up in person during event hours.  

Branch Out Dallas is led by Dallas Water Utilities staff with support from the citywide Forestry team, community partners and volunteers. For additional details regarding the Branch Out Dallas tree giveaway program, please visit dallas.gov/BranchOutDallas
