In order to get free trees they must be reserved online, free trees ordered in October must be picked up in October, inventory resets every month. If you don’t get trees this time around there will be more opportunities coming up.
Pick up location is at our Sandhill Nursery location at 24 Apac Circle, Asheville, NC.
Tree pick up for October is available every Tuesday 10 AM - 1 PM and every Wednesday 4 - 7 PM.
Free tree orders are limited to 10 per household, orders over 10 free trees may be cancelled.
Reforesting Asheville is not a one-day effort—it’s a long-term commitment. We’re in this for the long haul, and we’re so grateful you are too.
Thank you for your passion, patience, and commitment to bringing back our tree canopy!

Tree Distribution FAQs
-
Tree distribution seasons are fall (October-December) and spring (March-May).

Typically at Sand Hill Nursery (24 Apac Circle, Candler, NC 28715, housed within the Buncombe County Sports Park).
Sometimes we host smaller tree distributions out in the community, keep an eye on our social media and email list for special events.

We ask that you reserve a limited number of trees, so that others can reserve some too. Some events will have defined limits.
If you are interested in multiple trees for municipalities/organizations - please see our sliding scale.

Either reserve here on our online tree shop, or on a first-come, first-served basis. Details will be provided for each distribution.
