Graff, who also wrote a book about trees trails in Central Park. This was updated in 1990 by C. Glaeser, and the results were shown on the old Prospect Park map published by the sadly unheralded Greensward Foundation/Friends of Prospect Park that year. No trees were noted on your mapped section of the park. So it was probably some kind of oak or a tuliptree, which are our usual big ones. http://matthewwills.com/Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13334628837533439470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4415589203905330363.post-66165656276915962282010-03-17T23:16:27.277-04:002010-03-17T23:16:27.277-04:00I met the Asian Longhorn Beetle guys from USDA and...I met the Asian Longhorn Beetle guys from USDA and sort of interviewed them; figured they were both from the Midwest or something but 1 guy was raised in Queens, quit the office grind to climb trees! Fortunately, no beetles found so far. (In one backyard in Wmsburg, he said, they found beetle damage but no beetles--'cause a guy's pit bull had eaten them all!)Brenda from Flatbushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04028764394435321917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4415589203905330363.post-88043060789198623042010-03-13T09:39:13.064-05:002010-03-13T09:39:13.064-05:00Thanks for the update.
