Update: All the trees were given away within 24 hours of this announcement.

CLARKSVILLE, TN – Replant Clarksville will give away 100 trees in Clarksville and Montgomery County as part of the new Front Yard Tree Program. Trees must be planted in a front or side yard, visible from the street and not behind a fence. The intent is to share the beauty of the trees with everyone.

Tree requests will be accepted through Oct. 25, while supplies last. Trees are approximately 7-gallon container-grown trees. They will be delivered dormant in November 2026 and must be planted at that time. To request up to two free trees for your yard, complete the Front Yard Tree Request Form.

If you will receive trees, you will be required to call 811 and identify all underground infrastructure before digging. You can choose to dig the necessary hole (3 feet wide and 1.5 feet deep) or arrange for Replant Clarksville to dig the hole and install the tree for $100 per tree. Weekly watering will be necessary during the first summer (2027). More information is provided in the online request form.

A choice of four native species is available: Shumard Oak, Red Maple, Eastern Redbud, and White Dogwood.

Shumard Oak

  • Height: 60–80 feet
  • Full sun; prefers deep, moist, well-drained soil but tolerates moderately dry sites once established
  • Large, long-lived native shade tree with attractive red to orange fall color; acorns provide wildlife food

Red Maple

  • Height: 40–60 ft
  • Full sun to partial shade; adaptable to many soils and tolerates both fairly wet and moderately dry conditions.
  • Relatively fast-growing native tree with excellent red/orange fall color

Eastern Redbud

  • Height: 20–30 ft.
  • Full sun to partial shade; performs best in moist, well-drained soil but is fairly adaptable.
  • Showy pink-purple flowers in early spring, before the leaves emerge; excellent smaller tree for landscaped areas

White Dogwood

  • Height: 15–30 ft.
  • Partial shade is ideal, especially protection from hot afternoon sun; prefers moist, well-drained soil.
  • Attractive white spring flowers, red fall foliage and small red berries that are valuable to birds and other wildlife
