Planting Your New Tree
Naperville's Forestry Division encourages residents to consider planting trees on their own property.
Please note, a tree planting permit from the Department of Public Works is required before planting a tree in a City parkway.
If you are considering planting your new tree in the parkway, please visit the Parkway Trees - Planting by Homeowners page to learn more about the process and to download a parkway tree planting permit application, which includes a list of approved trees and planting directions.
Protect Your New Tree During the 2024 Cicada Emergence
This year, the Chicago region will see a remarkable natural phenomenon that only occurs once in 17 years: an emergence of periodical cicadas. During this time, any tree you plant this spring will be vulnerable to cicada damage. To avoid damage, the Morton Arboretum suggests wrapping the new tree in netting. For more information, visit the Morton Arboretum's 2024 Cicada Emergence information page.
