New Trees in Bed Stuy

street-trees-0709.jpgThe Bed-Stuy blog’s initial cynicism about Mayor Bloomberg’s MillionTreesNYC program has been replaced by optimism: “Our stretch of Myrtle Avenue is already looking much better thanks to this program. So far I’ve spotted new Dawn Redwoods, Honey Locusts, English Oaks and Pin Oaks on Myrtle east of Classon. Soon after I took these photos the trees were suited up with Tree Gators. Hopefully Myrtle will become a beautiful tree-lined avenue in the future.” Where else have people been noticing new trees popping up recently?
