ReLeaf Tree Sales in 2025
What is ReLeaf?
Trees Winnipeg hosts a public ReLeaf Tree Sale each spring and fall for Winnipeg homeowners to add trees to their property. Since the program's inception in 2016 to the end of 2024, we have sold 7,890 trees!
We offer a diverse selection of high-quality trees sourced from Manitoba-based tree farms and sell them at a discounted price. Each sale includes our tree, a trunk guard, mulch (when our pickup site permits us to have it), a tree planting / tree care booklet, and a consultation with a certified arborist at the time of pickup.
How Can I Order a ReLeaf Tree?
Trees are sold online through our sales site. Follow the instructions to order and make your payment. Trees will be available for pickup at a specified time and place noted on the site. There are limited quantities of each tree and we sell out at every sale, so please order early.
Participants are welcome to purchase multiple trees but we have a limit of six per address.
Once you have decided on a place for your tree, you will need to Click Before You Dig to make sure the site you have chosen does not have utilities located beneath it.
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 currently loses thousands of trees annually and is at risk of losing approximately two-thirds of its urban canopy. These 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 the diversity of Tree Species Important?
Planting a diversity of trees on your own property is a great way to help preserve our iconic 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 insurance against the effects of climate change.
ReLeaf Tree Care
Young trees may not live their full lifespan if they do not 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 our arborist at programming@treeswinnipeg.org
Trees Winnipeg is a partner of the One Million Tree Challenge. All trees planted through ReLeaf will automatically be added to our counter.
Other Frequently Asked Questions
Can I plant ReLeaf trees outside of 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 Winnipeg's urban area.
What size are the ReLeaf trees?
Unless otherwise noted, the trees we sell are 2-gallon container size which is a little larger than an ice cream pail. They can stand anywhere from two to six feet tall depending on the species and growing conditions at the nursery.
How do I pick up my ReLeaf tree(s)?
The sale site will inform you of the date and place of the pickup. You will also be sent a link to choose a pickup time that best works for you.
These trees are easy to transport and should fit into a regular-sized car. We will have volunteers on hand to help you load them. The trees can be messy, especially if they’ve been recently watered, so we recommend lining your car floor or trunk with a tarp or blanket.
What if I miss the tree pick-up date?
Trees Winnipeg cannot hold trees past the designated pickup date as we do not have a central storage facility to bring them to. If trees are not collected, they will donated to a non-profit group or used at one of the many plantings we do at daycares, schools, and similar facilities. Refunds are not provided on trees that are not picked up.
Can I plant these trees on my 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. Also, some of the varieties we choose for yards would not stand up to the salt and sand used on our streets in winter.
The City of Winnipeg has specific requirements about the size, species, and placement of trees on boulevards. If you would like to have a tree planted on your boulevard, contact 311 to ensure that your address is on the city's replacement list. You might also want to consider purchasing a tree for your boulevard through the city.
