APS Offers Shade Trees to Homeowners of Historic Homes

APS wants to spread the word about its Shade Tree Program. This is a great opportunity for historic homeowners to add shade to their homes and to conserve energy without altering windows or other historic features of their homes.

APS will give qualified Maricopa County residents up to three free five-gallon sh[1] ade trees after attending the free one-hour Shade Tree workshop. You can receive up to two Palo Verde, Mesquite, Desert Willow or Chaste (Vitex) trees for homes built 1980 or later and three trees for homes built prior to 1980. Program participants are responsible for picking up the trees at a distribution event and planting and maintaining the trees. Please visit [2] TREES for more information.
