Spring in New York City is exciting for anyone who vibrates to the pitch of trees greening and beginning to bloom. Come with us on a tour of the grounds of the historic Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn.

A pair of native American black cherries (Prunus serotina) in full bloom.

A ‘kanzan’ cherry tree.

Prunus ‘Kanzan’ has double flowers and burgundy-hued new leaves.

The pinks belong to cherry, dogwood, and redbud trees.

Dogwood, oak, and beech create an ephemeral tapestry.
