Plant the right tree in the right place this spring

Power lines and tree limbs do not mix. You can avoid the sometimes dramatic tree pruning that MGE has to do by not planting large trees that can interfere with electric lines overhead.

MGE developed a Tree Choice and Care database to search for trees and shrubs which can be planted under or near power lines.

Remember to call Diggers Hotline before you dig.
