Peach Trees in New York City

[Bradybb]

I’m visiting a friend in Long Island.We went to the city today and were walking to a destination, called the High Line or High Line Park.
I came across two Peach trees, each planted in successive tree pits by a row of businesses, next to the regular city trees.One had fruit.

More about the High Line.It is built on an old elevated freight rail line.It is a walkway, about 1.5 miles long that still has the old rails showing in places and plants,some fruiting,growing on both sides.Part of it looks like it travels along the Hudson River, but we didn’t go that far.An interesting idea to save some history.

The High Line is a great place that I often recommend tourists to check out, unless it is super hot as it is very exposed
NYC has a map where you can look up any public property in the entire city and see what trees are present, though for some reason the High Line isnt on that list. Peach isnt on the list of trees that are filtered, probably as they are not on the city’s approved list of trees, so someone probably snuck this in there
