The City of Charlottetown is inviting residents to submit trees from their properties for consideration as the City’s official Christmas tree for the 2026 holiday season.
The selected tree will be displayed on the Lou MacEachern Upper Plaza at Confederation Centre of the Arts and illuminated during the City’s annual tree-lighting event.
To be considered, trees must:
• Be at least 30 feet tall, maximum 40 feet tall
• Be a spruce or fir
• Have full, even branching with no large gaps
• Have a single trunk with no splitting
• Be in an accessible location where crews and equipment can safely remove the tree
Preference will be given to trees located in Charlottetown that meet all eligibility requirements and are already expected to be removed due to safety concerns, structural issues, declining health, or similar circumstances. Costs associated with the removal and installation of the selected tree, including tree and stump removal, transportation and setup, will be fully covered by the City.
Residents interested in donating are encouraged to complete the
Tree-mendous Search submission form by Oct. 16 at 4 p.m.
Before submitting, residents can use the City’s
online Tree Inventory to confirm whether a tree is privately or City-owned. Submissions will be reviewed to ensure trees meet safety, accessibility and display requirements.
