Over the past few years, 12,000 trees have been handed out.
Thousands of residents, community groups and parish councils have collected their free trees to help make Charnwood even greener.
The borough council were running a scheme which aimed to plant 4,000 trees in the borough.
Cllr Roy Rollings, lead member for transformation with responsibility for the Council’s campaign to become Carbon Neutral by 2030 said: “We are committed to ensure 100,000 trees are planted in Charnwood by 2024 and this is another step towards that pledge.
“It was great to see the giveaway was popular with residents once again. Over the past few years, we’ve handed out around 12,000 trees which will help make the borough even greener.
“For those who didn’t manage to grab a free tree this time, keep an eye out on the Council’s communication channels for any future schemes.”
Households, community groups and parish councils were able to choose up to two trees from four different varieties; Crab apple, hazel, rowan and silver birch.
The Council ran a stall at Loughborough Market in early December where people could go along and collect a tree if they had missed the chance to apply online.
