I'm thrilled the DOT has redone the traffic circle at the southwest corner of Prospect Park. It was roadway wild west before they imposed some structure to our driving and walking.
Car lanes have been restricted to one or two in each direction, bike lanes and traffic lights have been added, traffic light timing is better coordinated for all users, the horses now travel around the circle instead of bisecting it, and high-curbed barriers restrict the crazy maneuvers of so many drivers. One thing though...
Who chose these plants?! These low ball-shape junipers/cedars (?) did not last the winter.
And when will they be replaced?
Looks to me like young cedar.
Even in the park this new traffic infrastructure houses these mostly dead shrubs. High heat, cold winds, dry, salt spray -what should be planted there?
Euonymous alatus or Ilex verticillata?
