Anyone want to tell me what species of tree this is? The ones that turn into fuzzy yellow green clouds, and drop petals like yellow snow. |

| Update, August 3 - At the suggestion of Peri Hupsous, I’ve taken a photo of the leaves so she can tell if "it may be a mimosa or locust if its pinnately compound…which is lots of leaves on each twig of a branch shaped in a pseudo-pyramidal shape from tip to end." |
Speaking of trees, the parks department has recently put identifying plaques on the elms in Tompkins Square park. Go say hello, and wish them well. This stand of elms is one of the largest remaining, or at least that’s what I was told by someone with binoculars and a clipboard, doing Dutch-elm-disease watch on the trees.
