We have many Ohio buckeye species planted around Calgary - these trees have smaller leaves and leaflets. The species planted in Cameron avenue are definitely horse chestnut because of the massive leaves/leaflets and distinct bark. Yeah Victoria and Vancouver have many planted around because of...

Spectacular find - these trees are giants when mature and like you said, are very rare in our continental climate.

So definitely not the one in my profile picture right?

Bur Oaks require a deep taproot in order to get well established wherever they are planted or germination occurs - I agree that the juvenile oaks being planted around the city look rather sad. Once the tap root is fairly deep - these trees can be well adapted to dryer and colder conditions. The...

I couldn't agree more. I do believe that green ash is a very resilient tree that can tolerate our climate though I also believe that the city should try experimenting with other tree species to have a more diverse urban forest for Calgary. The moment that EAB withstands our warming winters we...

I walk by this project everyday

Inside the district

All green ash dying is something that can definitely happen in Calgary - the emerald ash borer is an introduced pest from Asia that has killed most large native green ash in warmer parts of North America. Calgary winters are the only factor keeping the ash alive - but some mild winters can...

Checked out the the District today - I’ll take more pictures next time

Great looking towers - BUT, I will judge the overall project depending on the tree species they choose to plant 🙃

Making way for the excavators?

Great usage of what once was a surface parking lot

It’s looking great - one thing UofC lacked was having a university neighbourhood. I’m excited to see whole University Avenue completed

These got done quickly. Looks good - but I’m not sure about leasehold property

The sky is the limit?

"let's plant a tree in a concrete jungle" - someone paid to have this done.

It's quite bizarre that from all the options of travelling East<-->West in the Beltline people deliberately chose to drive in a single lane road getting into a traffic jam in both directions. I can't remember the last time I drove down 17th ave either, the idea is repulsive Regarding...

First street market opened today - 1st Street has definitely shaped up nicely in the last few years.
