These horticultural specimens, many under threat, range from a two-century old tulip poplar in Washington, D.C.,
to the 4,000 cherry trees in New Jersey's Essex County Branch Brook Park, to the Rio Piedras ficuses that span seven highway lanes in San Juan. They stand as living reminders of our country's past and have the potential to witness future generations.
