New York City, once a lush and verdant group of forested islands, is still home to a rich collection of diverse tree species, each with a story to tell about the cityās past. In this gorgeous book, naturalist and photographer Benjamin Swett provides stunning color photographs, personal narratives, and fascinating historical observations about a select few of the thousands of trees that thrive in the five boroughsāfrom the sprawling New York Botanical Garden in spring bloom to the snow-laden residential blocks of Queens in winter.
Swettās warm and welcome voice adds depth and perspective to his collection, as well as an unmistakable charm unique to his cityās cosmopolitan character. The stories of these treesāsome dating back to the Revolutionary era and beforeālink the living with the past in an visceral and engaging way that will leave readers with an renewed and lasting appreciation of their own environments.
