Those who are able to stump up the £250 can suggest a preferred location for it to be planted.
This can be outside homes or schools or in a park.
Sponsors will need to water the tree regularly after it’s planted sometime in the Autumn.
Councillor Julia Neden-Watts, Deputy Leader and Chair of the Environment, Sustainability, Culture and Sports Committee, said:
“Planting trees makes our borough greener and more beautiful, while also supporting urban wildlife and helping us adapt to a changing climate with benefits that are felt by everyone who lives here, such as cooling our streets in very hot summers.
“This new sponsorship scheme builds on the progress we have already made and reflects our ambition to grow and protect our tree canopy for the future.
“If you’re able to, please consider sponsoring a street tree or a tree in one of our parks, or simply help spread the word. Together, we can all enjoy the benefits for years to come.”
