Reply to comment by Lovis_Iovis in Interactive map of New York's street trees by lillabulleroni

That map sadly only features trees on public land. On my property I have a fig, Pear and Crabapple tree, none of which are counted. The crabapple in particular is a favorite with local bees, and it's blossoms in spring are a magnificent sight. I feel bad that they're on private property and no one gets to see them. Anyway, thanks for the link....

It would be cool to feature more private property trees. There are some impressive specimens near me, and it would add a lot of species diversity.

Even without private property though, the official map has far more trees than the OP’s map. Even just looking at Brooklyn it’s 177,293 in the OP and 227,812 on the official map.

Agreed. I can't even speculate what the actual tally would be. My property in Queens has 3 alone. There are tens of thousands like it. I know quite a few locals who grow figs. We talk and share tips on tree care....
