Myrtle Avenue received 9 new street trees this week, bringing the district’s total tree count to 264!

Most of the new trees are around the Ingersoll Community Center at Prince Street (pictured above).  The Myrtle Avenue Brooklyn Partnership will care for these trees, with spring soil maintenance, summertime watering, and minor pruning.

Some of you may remember that the community center used to have street trees, which were removed to make room for the Myrtle median.  Now we have the median trees and the street trees.
