For many years, the Middle Shooks Run Neighborhood Association has brought trees to our neighborhood to enhance our beloved tree canopy — keeping our streets green, shaded, and true to the character that makes this place special.
This year we have chosen the American Sentry Linden available for purchase by Shooks Run neighbors.

American Sentry Linden (Tilia americana ‘McKSentry’) The American basswood is a medium-sized to large deciduous tree
$99
The linden is a City-approved Street Tree, meaning they can be planted in the parkway strip between the sidewalk and street, or anywhere else on your property.
Trees are 6–8 feet tall (~1″ caliper), arriving mid-April ready to plant.
$99 per tree.
Use the form below for purchase.
Pre-sale is for MSRNA members only. Regular sale will open up in 2027.
⚠️ We have a limited number of trees — reserve yours now! Tree pickup is TBD, but you can plan on mid-April — location and time will be coordinated with purchasers.

Important Notes Before You Plant:
- Planting in the city right-of-way (between the sidewalk and street)? You’ll need a free tree permit from City Forestry first. Access the permit through the GoCOS App
or

Hope to see our canopy grow this spring! 🌿
