Hilariously, doing this is against city bylaws.
Quote:
"Can a property owner prune, remove, or plant a tree themselves?
"No, the pruning, removal, and planting of trees is relatively high risk work that must be completed by qualified and insured experts (see the Agreement for Contractors to Perform Arboricultural Services on Trees Under the Control of the Urban Forestry Branch). Risks from improperly completed work include damage to property and injury to members of the public. Therefore, this type of work is not allowed except by a professional who has qualified with us.

If you want to plant a tree on the boulevard, you have to choose from a prescreened list of contractors, prepare a proposal for the city to review and approve, and then you have to pay them to plant the trees and then water and maintain them for *two* years!
