The City of Miami is giving away 500 fruit trees, hardwoods, and shrubs this month in a push to expand the city’s tree canopy and provide more shade for residents.
The initiative, led by the Office of Resilience and Sustainability with support from the Building Department, is part of the city’s Miami Forever Climate Ready: Extreme Heat Plan, which identifies tree planting as a key strategy to combat rising temperatures.
Tree distribution will take place across five events scheduled over three Saturdays in October. Available species include Mango, Longan, Horizontal Cocoplum, Soursop, Verawood, Simpson Stopper, and Firebush.
