Fruit tree sapling in a pot ready for adoption at the 'Adopt your tree' event in Ablon-sur-Seine.

The Val-de-Marne Department is organizing a new edition of the 'Adopt your tree' initiative this Saturday, October 10, 2026, from 10 AM to 2 PM, in Ablon-sur-Seine, offering nearly 300 potted fruit trees.

Residents of Val-de-Marne are invited to collect their fruit tree (cherry, apple, pear, fig, and plum trees) at Place de l’Europe, opposite the Alain-Poher Cultural Center, in Ablon-sur-Seine. This event is part of the 50,000 trees plan.
To adopt a tree, participants must register online via a dedicated form to reserve their time slot. The sapling will be given in exchange for signing a commitment agreement, obligating the signatory to plant the tree in the ground and provide the necessary care for its development.
For unregistered individuals, a limited number of trees will also be available on-site, while stocks last. As the saplings can measure around 300 cm, it is advisable to arrange for suitable transportation. Gardeners will be present to assist with tree selection and offer planting advice.

Trees offer numerous benefits, including cooling, air purification, and environmental protection.

Trees play a vital role in urban gardens, contributing to cooling through shade and evapotranspiration, purifying the air by capturing pollutants and CO2, and protecting the environment by absorbing rainwater, combating soil erosion, and preserving biodiversity.
