"This tree, despite all odds, is still hanging on. It is growing horizontal on the bank. its truck even dips into the stream when the water is high enough. I have been coming to this tree since I was a kid often climbing it and walking its horizontal trunk. Today I admire it every time I pass, reminded of the joy it brought me over the years. It serves as a reminder to never give up no mater what life throws your way and who knows maybe that struggle will blossom into something unique and beautiful like this Pecan."

To every person who has adopted a TreeFolks tree: Thank you for helping Austin grow. 🌳

Thank you for making space for a tree, watering it through hot weather, checking its mulch, and giving it room to grow. Your care can benefit more than your own household.

As your tree becomes established, it can add shade, habitat, cooling, and beauty to the community around it.

Tree care takes time, and we are grateful for the people who make that time. The shade we hope to enjoy tomorrow depends on the care adopters provide today.

Share a recent photo of your adopted tree, tag TreeFolks, and tell us how it is growing.

"Storms make trees take deeper roots"

The great Dolly Parton understood and respected our natural world deeply. She was an advocate for the mountains, the trees, and for the stewards of the precious lands we have the gift of sharing on this earth.

You will be dearly missed. See in you in Dollyverse 🦋

"This tree is special because it has become a familiar part of the Wells Branch community. It is a mature Eastern Cottonwood (Populus deltoides) with a massive trunk measuring more than 19 feet around, deeply textured bark, and large spreading branches that make it stand out along the Wells Branch walking trail.

For many years, this tree has greeted walkers, runners, and families as they enter Katherine Fleischer Park. We don’t know its exact age, but its size and character suggest it has been here for a very long time, providing shade and a beautiful reminder of the natural landscape that surrounds our community.

What makes this tree special to me is that it is more than just a large tree. It is a familiar landmark that people pass by every day—a quiet piece of Wells Branch history that connects our community with nature."

It begins with a young tree, a good planting location, a watering plan, and someone willing to care.

Over time, that tree can grow into shade. It can support wildlife, help cool its surroundings, and become part of the character of a home or neighborhood.

One new tree may feel like a small step. Across thousands of yards, schools, community spaces, and businesses, those steps become a larger urban forest.

That is why every adopter matters. Your tree is growing alongside the trees cared for by people throughout Austin.
