For a limited time Friends of the Urban Forest and SF Environment are offering San Francisco residents a chance to order a living, potted Christmas Tree for only $95. Each one of these beautiful, 6' to 8' tall trees has been handpicked to thrive in San Francisco. Choose exactly which tree you would like to have in your home for the holidays when you pick up your tree at the City Hall Plaza Green Christmas Tree lot on December 5th and 6th, from 10 am until 2 pm. Trees will be available on a first come, first served basis. If you miss the tree lot, you can pick up your tree at the Friends of the Urban Forest offices from December 7, 2009 through December 11, 2009. Pick up your tree early for the best selection!  After the holidays, we'll plant them on our city's streets. You can help! When the trees are ready to be planted, we'll let you know.
