TREE PLANTING IN WEST BOYLSTON: WHAT TO KNOW
A new tree in West Boylston should suit both the site and the pests already in the area. With all of West Boylston in the ALB zone, planting species other than maple, poplar, willow and elm spreads the risk. West Boylston wraps around the Wachusett Reservoir, with Oakdale across the water along Route 140 and about 2,200 acres of town land taken for the reservoir.
Rules change, so confirm with the town before work starts. Full local rules and sources are in our West Boylston tree service guide.

TREE PLANTING FAQ: WEST BOYLSTON
Which trees are risky to plant in West Boylston right now?
West Boylston is one of four communities still in the Asian longhorned beetle zone, where maple, poplar, willow and elm are the host trees officials name. Statewide, emerald ash borer is in all 14 counties and beech leaf disease in every county, so ash and beech are poor choices for new plantings.
Can I plant a tree near the road in West Boylston?
A tree in or on the edge of the public way is a public shade tree under Chapter 87, so talk to the town first. West Boylston's Tree Warden holds Chapter 87 hearings on trees in the public way, with notices issued through the Director of Public Works (508-835-4820).
Can I plant a tree near a wetland or brook in West Boylston?
West Boylston's Conservation Commission covers wetlands and the 100-foot buffer zone and has held public hearings on individual tree removals, as recently as August 2026. Ask the Commission before digging in a buffer zone. Spring and fall are the best planting seasons here.
