This comes up occasionally, but is relevant today: street trees, like sidewalks, are the RESPONSIBILITY of the homeowner, but the PROPERTY of the city. Only tho...se licensed by the city may plant, prune, or remove street trees. If you want a tree (yay!), you can apply to have one planted - free to you - by neighborhood Tree Tenders! There's a form to fill out, the city selects a tree that's appropriate for your location, and friendly volunteers who've been trained come in the spring or fall to plant them. Like so many things in the city, you might get away with planting a street tree on your own -- but please don't. The whole reason for the process is so that street trees are chosen that can thrive in specific locations without interfering with wires, being too broad for a sidewalk, or otherwise creating the problems that make people hate street trees. Wanna know more? The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society offers Tree Tender training regularly: get certified yourself and you too can lecture people endlessly on "right tree, right place." See more
