Memorial Tree & Bench Program

Planting a Legacy

The City's Memorial Tree Program will plant a 6-10-foot-tall tree in memory of a friend or loved one. In addition to the tree planting, you will receive a space on the Missouri City Memorial Tree Webpage. You may provide us with a digital picture of your loved one and furnish a customized dedication of 50 words or less to go alongside your name on the website. The online memorial page will include your dedication, photo, and explanation of the tree planting. Your newly planted tree will be mulched, fertilized, pruned, and watered for two years by City staff. If the tree dies within that time, it will be replaced by another tree at no additional cost to you.  

• When: To ensure the best chance of survival, trees are planted between October 30th and April 30th
• Location: The City Forester will determine an appropriate location and species for your tree
• Fees: $200 donation
