Video Plant Profile: The Cottonwood Tree

Posted in Video on June 8th, 2011 by Rustin Dwyer – 1 Comment

Have you been seeing drifts of what appears to be white, fluffy snow all over New York City lately? Don’t worry, you’re not imagining things, but it’s not snow.

In fact it is millions upon millions (and possibly billions upon billions) of Cottonwood tree seeds trying to make their way to a nice comfy spot to set down roots and grow into one of the City’s most majestic native trees. Want to learn more? Then check out this great Video Plant Profile with NYBG Plant Records Manager, Jon Peter.

Don’t miss your chance to walk through a miniature New York cityscape, teeming with garden-scale model trains. Running through January 9, the Holiday Train Show offers New Yorkers (and visitors too!) a chance to see their city in a completely new way. Lose yourself among 140 beloved New York landmarks as the trains zip along over a quarter-mile of track in this miniature world inside the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory.

Your trip to the Garden doesn’t end with the trains though. Performances of Tootle the Train™ and the Little Engine That Could™ along with Gingerbread Adventures in the Discovery Center run daily. Grab a bite in one of our two Cafes, get in some holiday shopping at the Shop in the Garden or just marvel at the 250 acres of natural beauty.

Get you tickets today!

Monday Morning Arborists: A Peek Behind the Scenes

The New York Botanical Garden is usually closed to the public on Mondays, but that doesn’t mean our groundskeepers and horticulturalists get the day off. Quite the opposite actually. Mondays are the days when the huge projects get done; projects that would interfere with guests enjoyment of the grounds or require large, heavy machinery.

Here’s a short video highlighting the move of a katsura tree (Cercidiphyllum japonicum) from this Monday. It was a pretty big job that required a lot of hands (especially when this little guy jumped out of the rootball!).

Enjoy!
