4. Why put yourself at risk of legal jeopardy?

If you want to donate trees to the city, call them and find out if they have any such program or policy. They may decline if they already have contractual obligations with some garden supply company to supply plants for city properties.

You'd probably get more attention from city leaders if you teamed up with a public service group or some local club, church, business or youth sports team willing to plant trees as a community service project. That would be a great photo op for everyone.
