HANNIBAL, Mo. — The Tree of the Month for April is a Redbud Tree at 1921 Broadway at the home of Ron and Sharon Walley.

The Tree Board established a Tree of the Month Award to celebrate Hannibal’s beautiful urban forest and its stewards. The Tree Board’s mission is to encourage and inspire by example proper planting and tree care in Hannibal.

The city of Hannibal has earned the Tree City USA designation for more than 25 years in recognition of its commitment to urban and community forestry programs.

According to Tree Board guidelines, the tree must be: residential and visible from the street; distinctive with good form; and well-cared for, properly pruned with no dead limbs.

Nominations may be made by contacting Tree Board president Kristy Trevathan at  Kristy.trevathan@prestigerealty.net.
