Since the 2 tree gardens were bookended by the same species, we decided to match the 2 new trees to the 2 existing ones on either side.  These existing trees were planted in 2011 after Hurricane "Irene" and have grown several feet since then.  Our goal was to find 2 Callery Pear trees as close in size to the existing trees as possible.  However, there were size limitations concerning the root ball fitting into the tree pit. 

Another street tree on the southwest sidewalk outside the Park was also destroyed by Hurricane Sandy. We are searching for an appropriate tree to plant in that tree pit.
