At one time, my hometown of Buffalo, New York was widely known as the "City of Trees" because of the mighty Elms. As these trees grew, they created natural canopies over the neighborhood streets. Sadly, they succumbed to development as well as the Dutch Elm Disease that all but decimated the Elm population throughout the city into the 1970s. Younger species have been planted and over the last 10 years, we are starting to see canopies again.
