Trees in Bed Stuy?

hi all,

ive just moved to bed stuy. love it. but i wish every block had nice trees like mine. someone told me that all you have to do is call the city, as a homeowner, to have one planted on your block. i think that would be a great enhancement to the neighborhood – cut down on A/C costs and heat in summer, be a wonderful aesthetic, etc. and i wouldnt mind helping with that (when i get a slow month). does anyone have thoughts on this? is it true about “just making a phone call to the city”? maybe too good to be true?
