WIND BLEW THE CLOTHES RIGHT OFF THIS LOVELY FLORA

The strong wind that’s been blowing the past few days denuded this lovely tree in Riverside park just north of 72nd street. The first photo was taken Sunday, and the second was taken Tuesday. Photos courtesy of Phil Olvey.

Looks like a gingko. They give up their leaves in one fell swoop. It’s what they do.

It’s true! The leaves drop like rain in a single day:

It’s a gingko tree , that’s what they do. In one swift day. There is an article in the New Yorker this week exactly about this ancient tree. It releases it leave in 1 single day not because of any outside force..

That is a Ginko tree which usually loses most of its leaves in one day with or without wind!

gingko trees will lose their leaves quickly when the temps get below freezing. and, yes, very quickly. one year it was raining gingko leaves, they just fell off one at a time all day.
