The street tree on Ginza Street becomes a "wig"

[The Rabbit of Tsukuda] April 11, 2018 09:00

I noticed that a new street tree was planted on Ginza Chuo-dori. What kind of tree is it? I looked for the nameplate, but it wasn't installed yet. The round heart-shaped leaves are very cute.

Immediately, looking at heart-shaped leaves as clues, it looks like a "wig" that is often used for street trees. It grows quickly, the height of the tree is as high as 30m, and it seems that it is a tree with beautiful autumn leaves in autumn.

 

When I looked carefully in the neighborhood, I found that it was in a place where I went every day! If you don't care about it, it's just a landscape. Now, the fresh green is shining brightly.

According to the Ginza City Planning Council's website, "By the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics held in 2020, the street trees on Ginza Street will be replanted from yew to Takagi wig." In addition, "This year, Ginza-dori 1, 2, 3, 7, 8-chome east side, and next winter, 1-8-chome west side and 4, 5, 6-chome east side will all be reborn as rows of wig trees. "

In 1874, as the first modern street tree in Tokyo, Japanese black pine Sakura was planted on Ginza Street, from which it became willows and changed with the times.

 

When we grow up big and guide Ginza, will it be a moderate shade of trees? How do you change the expression of Ginza with a row of wigs?

 

The scenery of Ginza changes completely! It's a rabbit who is thrilling from now on.
