    D. E. Atha 14637 with Regina Alvarez & Ken Chaya, 25 Jun 2014

  • Location

    United States of America. New York. New York Co. New York City. Central Park. Ramble. Between 77th and 78th Sts at 6th Ave.

  • Habitat

    Woodland with mix of cultivated and spontaneous trees.

  • Description

    Tree 12 m tall from 2 massive root crowns; stems several, the largest to about 20 cm diam; bark smooth, vertically striate; leaf adaxials green, the abaxials only slightly paler. These trees are clearly very old. It is not evident whether they are spontaneous or planted, although since the stems appear to be suckers from the underground base, they could have been cut early in life, suggesting they were not deliberately cultivated. Phenology of specimen: Fruit.
