What is ReLeaf?


Every fall and spring, Trees Winnipeg offers a spring and fall ReLeaf Tree Planting Program available to private property owners (commercial, residential, etc.) in Winnipeg.

For $75.00 per tree package, you can order online from our diverse selection of high-quality trees. Each package includes your tree(s), trunk guards, and a tree planting / tree care demonstration from a certified arborist to help you give your new tree its best start in life!

Why Should We Plant More Trees?

Winnipeg’s urban canopy is under threat by Dutch elm disease (DED) and emerald ash borer (EAB), as well as the effects of climate change. Winnipeg is at risk of losing approximately two-thirds of its urban canopy and is currently losing thousands of trees annually. Such losses can be attributed to a monoculture planting of the past, where only a few types of trees made up the majority of the canopy.

Why is Diversity of Tree Species Important?

Planting a diversity of trees on your own property is a great way to help preserve our iconic green urban canopy, as well as provide the climatic, environmental, economic, and social benefits associated with trees. Tree diversity is most important to a healthy urban forest environment in the future and is an insurance to the unprecedented effects of climate change.

ReLeaf Tree Care

It’s important to understand that young trees may not live their full lifespan if they don’t receive proper planting and care early on. Please make sure to watch our Tree Planting 101 video and visit the "Tree Care 101" tab for helpful advice about how to properly plant and care for your new tree. Other tree planting questions can be sent to office@treeswinnipeg.org

Trees Winnipeg is a partner of the One Million Tree Challenge. Let ReLeaf be your gateway to greening our city. All trees planted through ReLeaf must be planted in Winnipeg and will automatically be counted towards the One Million Tree Challenge. The Winnipeg ReLeaf Program is a collaborative project between Trees Winnipeg, the City of Winnipeg and Tree Canada.  

How Can I Order a ReLeaf Tree Package?

Once we’ve announced that our next ReLeaf event is live and online, you can choose your favourite tree collection(s) and follow our order instructions. ReLeaf participants are given a specific day and location to pick up their trees. 

Participants are welcome to purchase multiple tree collections — just ensure you have enough space! There are limited quantities of each tree collection and every year they do sell out, so we encourage you to order early.

If you have any questions about the program, please contact our office at office@treeswinnipeg.org. If you have trouble ordering, contact the order desk at releaf@treeswinnipeg.org.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many trees are in a “tree package”?


Each package will come with one to two trees (depending on the package selected) and a trunk guard for each tree (if needed).

I only want one type of tree, not the other tree in the package. Can I substitute one tree for another within a 2-tree package?


Unfortunately, we cannot substitute trees in the packages for others. The mixture of trees is part of the ReLeaf initiative to promote tree diversity in Winnipeg. Some single tree packages are included because they have special characteristics that address other canopy issues. 

You can ask about tree donations by emailing office@treeswinnipeg.org

Can I plant these trees outside the city?


ReLeaf is made possible in part due to the support of the City of Winnipeg, and trees are selected for the conditions present throughout the Winnipeg urban area. Please indicate in your order if you intend to plant these trees outside of the city.

All trees MUST be planted in Winnipeg to be counted towards the Million Tree Challenge. 

What size are the ReLeaf trees?


Every year, our ReLeaf trees vary in size depending on the species we’ve ordered and growing conditions. They are generally in either 2- or 5-gallon containers, where the trees are a few years old and 3 to 5 feet tall.

How do I pick up my ReLeaf trees?


Pick-up day is June 3rd, 2023 at Crescent Drive Park. We will send you instructions with your order. These trees are easy to transport, and most tree orders fit in a regular-sized car. Trees can sometimes be a bit messy, especially if they’ve been recently watered, so we recommend covering your car seat or trunk with a tarp or blanket.

Please note that we do not recommend you pick up your tree via bicycle; ReLeaf trees can be as tall as 5 feet, so a vehicle is strongly recommended.

What if I miss the tree pick-up date? 


Unfortunately, we cannot hold trees past the designated pick-up date. If trees are not collected, they will be donated on your behalf and planted in Winnipeg. Refunds are not provided on trees not picked up.

We work with volunteers make ReLeaf happen for only one day in the fall and spring. This keeps our costs low so that we can offer quality trees for less than retail price.

Can I plant these trees on the boulevard?


Due to their size, ReLeaf trees are not suitable for city boulevards as they can be easily damaged by vandalism or snow-clearing equipment. They also must be watered frequently for the first years after they are planted. For this reason, the City of Winnipeg has very specific requirements when selecting trees for boulevards. If you would like to have a tree planted on your boulevard, contact 311 or arrange to pay for the tree planting yourself through the City’s homeowner agreement.
