From the Tulip tree on Emanoil Porumbaru street, or the Mulberry tree in the courtyard of Batistei church up to the knocked down Ash tree in Carol Park, which was 150 years old and had a circumference of 420 cm, in this episode we visit some of the amazing trees in Bucharest.
Taking a ride through the city’s living museum, we encounter century-old survivors, exotic imports, and legendary urban canopies. Yet, behind their beauty lies a stark reminder of their fragility. Aggressive pruning, soil excavation, thermal stress from urban heat islands, and severe storms are cutting short the lives of giants that should outlive generations, leaving us with losses that cannot be replaced in our lifetime.
