Adoption Options
Adopt a Tree Program: Adoption Options
​
Thank you for your interest in supporting the Curran Apple Orchard Park!​​​​​​​ You can view the 2026 orchard brochure or see below to learn more about the 2026 adoption options and costs.
​​​​​​​
​
Current adopters who wish to readopt their existing tree must submit the 2026 application form and payment to the City by December 1, 2025. New adopters will receive tree assignments starting in early 2026. Please contact curranappleorchard@gmail.com if you do not receive a notification by late January 2026.
Each tree adoption is good for one harvest year with all proceeds going towards park maintenance and activities. Adoption benefits include delicious apples, getting your name on a tree tag and getting priority for the Cider Squeeze in mid August. To adopt a tree, fill out the 2026 Adoption Form and follow the mailing and payment instructions.

Tree Adoption Types
There are two types of tree adoptions: 1) Pruning Adoptions and 2) Orchard Supporter/Gift Adoptions. Please review the requirements carefully before picking the adoption that is right for you.
Pruning Adoptions
$65, available January through March 31
Adopters are required to prune, thin, weed, pick up branches, harvest and clean up windfalls. Approximately 4-6 visits per year. Free pruning instruction is available in person or on our website. Adopters are also responsible for taping their tree and putting up “Do Not Pick” signs in early August (if desired) to discourage the public from picking their fruit.
​
Adopters must notify CORE (email curranappleorchard@gmail.com or update the map/document posted on the barn door) after they have pruned and thinned their trees. Adopters who fail to prune and thin trees will be ineligible to obtain pruning adoptions in the future. ​
Orchard Supporter/Gift Adoptions
$125, available January through July 31
This adoption type is a perfect choice for people who want a tree but cannot prune. Adopters are required to thin, weed, pick up branches, harvest, and clean up windfalls. They are responsible for taping their tree and putting up “Do Not Pick” signs in early August (if desired) to discourage the public from picking their fruit.
