"New research from University of Utah psychology researchers is helping prove what American authors John Muir and Henry David Thoreau tried to teach more than 150 years ago: Time spent in nature is good for the heart and soul."
I don't need research to prove what I already know, but I imagine people need to find some way of developing their careers.
Talking to an arborist for the City, doing a sketch of a tree on my street, so that they have a record before they prune it. He said my street was good because there were no power lines to plan around. He says they're going to prune and uproot stumps in the next several months. He said they shouldn't take more than 1/3 of a plant in pruning, that's just a rule of thumb.
He reports the tree in the courtyard are London plane. It is a hybrid of Platanus orientalis (oriental plane) and Platanus occidentalis (American sycamore). According to the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation the symbol of that organization is a cross between the leaf of the London plane and a maple leaf. It is prominently featured on signs and buildings in public parks across the city. The tree is on the NYC Parks Department's list of restricted use species for street tree planting, because it constitutes more than 10% of all street trees.
They grow so fast, they swallow up insects trying to invade them. I asked about Lantern flies. He says they attack fruit trees. He recommended buying up wine because the prices are going to go up. I told him I don't drink any more.
