UNSPSC 10161551 Erica bush is a Commodity code covering the procurement, installation, and maintenance of trees and shrubs for municipal landscaping, environmental remediation, and public space enhancement projects. State and local governments soliciting under this code are acquiring live plant materials—typically native and ornamental tree species in containerized or ball-and-burlap form—along with site preparation, planting labor, mulching, soil amendment, establishment-period watering, and post-installation warranty services. The mix of issuing bodies includes county environmental agencies, city public works and parks departments, transit authorities, and state natural resource and transportation agencies. The scope spans high-volume replanting efforts on municipal corridors and rights-of-way, community tree-giveaway programs, specialized environmental projects such as climate-pollution reduction initiatives, and landscape restoration tied to infrastructure work.
