Official name: On the development of horticulture and greening in Turkmenistan
Citation: Постановление Президента Туркменистана «О развитии садоводства и озеленении в Туркменистане», 9 November 1992
Year / status: Presidential decree (постановление), 9 November 1992. FAOLEX/UNEP LEAP list it as in force from official publication; they do not give a separate decree number.
What it does
The preamble states that it is the duty of every citizen of Turkmenistan to plant two trees each year: one in honour of a newborn citizen, one in memory of the deceased. The operative articles then declare annual autumn and spring planting months, order velayat, Ashgabat, and etrap khyakims to organise mass plantings (including along named roads), and require the ministry responsible for nature management to supply planting material. It is a presidential постановление, not an act of the Mejlis and not a criminal code for people who fail to plant.
Where it applies / status
Turkmenistan. Later state planting campaigns (for example Kopet Dag parkland decrees in 1998, or later national forest-programme actions) are separate instruments. This card is only the 1992 text.
Documented benefits or intended effects
Intended effects: revive horticulture and organise seasonal mass planting with a public supply of seedlings. This page does not invent compliance rates, survival rates, or a hectare total attributable to the 1992 decree.
Caveats
Civic-duty language in a preamble is not the same as an individually prosecuted quota. FAOLEX notes that a reference number is unavailable. Do not retitle this as “plant three trees,” as a Tajikistan personal quota, or as a Philippines graduation bill: those are different or unverified stories.
