a tree grows in Somerville

A DPW crew came to my street today and planted a little baby tree. This made me curious: how do they decide where and when to plant new trees? Anyone know?

You can call the DPW and ask for a tree, actually. I expect it depends how big your sidewalk is--ours is so narrow we might not get one--and that probably also determines what kind of tree you can have. If this link (http://crm.4gov.net/SOMERVILLEMA/_cs/SupportSrvRqstOpen.aspx?ssessionid=&rqst=47) doesn't work, I found it by Googling for "somerville dpw plant a tree".
