They are very hardy and they are the first thing that blooms in the spring.

Yes.

A great scene, a mass of white bloom.

So how many trees does this involve?

Well, this is going to involve about 140 trees.

Where do you get those, from what nursery?

Well, we get them from a grower called Miranda, who plants them. And it's a great pleasure to see these things that are planted.

It's a great pleasure for other people to see them, too.

Well, I'm delighted, yes.

Anything else in New York City?

Well, I planted 20 blocks of begonias on Park Avenue this spring, now, in June, and they look very pretty but they need weeding, and it's going to cost me a lot of money to get them weeded because last year I planted them, and I asked the city to weed them, and they pulled up the begonias and left the weeds.

Becuase they didn't know what was a begonia and what was a weed. So you have to get educated weeders.
