'NYC Million Trees' planted since 2006 need pruning for best vigor, property enhancement, and shade. Easiest, low-cost while still young.

City Canopy Shade Tree Mission
H LINE Arborist (HLArb) is dedicated to sensible, efficient tree preservation and vigorous tree establishment
because a healthy, well-integrated street canopy/urban forest improves the quality of life for everyone.
Manhattan trees as 'Green Infrastructure', for example, in a densely-built, paved environment, improve air quality, cool NYC's 'air', and reduce water pollution for the whole region. In addition, street canopies not only enhance streets themselves, but experiences on sidewalks, and life in nearby buildings.
All city trees -- in parks, on the street or yards of commercial and residential properties-- contribute to these important environmental values and objectives.

CITY HORTICULTURE
City planting has challenges but in them lie seeds for invention. Mostly plantings must be resilient (to heat, use, etc). The greatest durability is needed for street and roofs, but today's sustainability demands hold for building Entries, Yards, and garden Courtyards.
CANOPY SHADE TREES
Of all plantings, canopy trees hold up best. Like tall ones on the street, small shade trees -- suited to small spaces and containers -- also do the most visually and environmentally, save money on energy bills, and grow property value.
