Up With Trees

09/18/2026

Have you noticed some changes along Memorial Drive between 71st and 91st Streets? 🌳

As part of the Citywide Beautification Project, Up With Trees is partnering with the City of Tulsa to replace older Bradford Pear and Ash trees along the public right-of-way. Bradford Pears are known for becoming brittle and prone to breakage as they age, while Ash trees face an increasing threat from the invasive Emerald Ash Borer, an insect that has destroyed millions of ash trees across the country.

The best part? New trees are coming soon!

Beginning next month, Up With Trees will start planting new trees throughout these medians with species selected to thrive for generations while providing shade, beauty, cleaner air, and other valuable benefits to motorists and neighboring residents.

We're excited to get these new trees in the ground and share the transformation with you as this corridor continues to grow and improve.

Stay tuned for planting updates this fall! 🌱
