San Antonians, get ready to literally dig in! The city's Parks and Recreation department is playing Johnny Appleseed, dishing out a whopping 1,000 fruit trees in a free giveaway bonanza that's bound to have locals sprouting with joy. Mark your calendars for a green-fingered Saturday morning on March 23 when the giveaway kicks off bright and early at 8 a.m. in Monterrey Park, all confirmed by the city's announcement. Just rock up, walk-up, and walk away with a slice of citrus or stone fruit heaven – but, bear in mind: it's first-come, first-served with a strict one-tree-per-household rule.

Before you've even had the chance to sip that morning coffee, the queue is expected to wind around the block faster than a squirrel on speed. While the event may start at 8 a.m., KENS 5 reports that eager tree enthusiasts should arrive early as there's a cap and that's 1,000 green-thumbs – no more, no less. Staff will be cutting off the line once they hit the magic number, so don't dally if you fancy a freebie.

The city's initiative isn't just about putting roots in the ground; they're on a mission to beef up San Antonio's tree canopy, making the city a leafier, greener sight to behold. And the variety of trees on offer? A zesty lineup of Lemon, Lime, Key Lime, Orange, Peach, Pomegranate, and Fig. According to the Parks and Recreation's Facebook page, they seem to have all bases covered - whether you're into tart, tangy or sweet, as reported by KSAT.

So, if the thought of homegrown peach pie or fresh-squeezed orange juice sets your heart aflutter, set that alarm and get ready to stand in line. But let's get serious for a second, folks – the rule is one tree per household. So even if your cousin's friend's brother tries convincing you to snag an extra sapling, resist the urge. Play fair, San Antonio. The city aims to give everybody their shot at turning their backyard into an edible paradise.
