Taking Place In The Trees

Last spring I posted photos of a lovely little weeping hornbeam that the Foti crew had transplanted bare-root in downtown Boston a month earlier.  Matt Foti just sent me a couple of update photos, taken when his guys had been down on the Rose Kennedy Greenway to move a collection of trees from one of the park parcels near Quincy Market (a couple of photos from that project will show up in my next post).

The hornbeam thrived through the season, and is doing beautifully.  It had fully leafed out after planting, and the foliage looked awfully good.  Take a look:

Nice dense foliage on the transplanted hornbeam.

This tree apparently didn’t miss a beat when it was moved.
