Two Minutes with Trees in Fort Tryon Park - AMUR CORK

Learn about the beautiful trees of Fort Tryon Park. This tree is near Fort Tryon Park's Sir William's Dog Run - the largest dog run in Manhattan! It is also near the park's only permanent art piece - "Columnade" by Eduardo Ramirez - installed in 1973. Watch this short video to learn about the unique qualities of the cork tree, its leaves, and berries, and how it benefits the park's birds and ecology.
TWO MINUTES WITH TREES is a 10-part video series presented by the Fort Tryon Park Trust and hosted by NYC author and naturalist Leslie Day. The series features some of the most spectacular trees in northern Manhattan's 67-acre Fort Tryon Park - a New York City public park designated a Scenic Landmark in 1983.
