Its great to see the city planting interesting trees around the city instead of the usual elms which are susceptible to disease and are not all that great looking. Recently I have seen Ginkgo Biboas, paperbark maples, black robe locusts(stunning tree I had never seen before)birches and several other unique varieties. I hope the city continues to beautify the streetscape by planting these kinds of ornamental trees as it makes for a more interesting landscape. —Trees Please
