City of Falls Church Tree of the Year Program
Each year since 1993, the City of Falls Church Tree Commission has
nominated a
Tree of the Year. The Tree of the Year is a native Virginia
tree that is no longer prolific in the City and merits reintroduction and
promotion. The tree must also be available for purchase and planting.
During the year, City and volunteer efforts focus on planting street
and park plantings of that species. In addition, private landowners are
encouraged to consider this tree for planting, if their property
conditions are favorable for the species.
