Anyone happen to know what sort of trees the white flowering ones lining both sides of the bike path through Seven Hills Park (behind Davis Sq. T, theater-side) are?
The city went crazy planting these from the mid 80's onward, and they really stink when there's a whole street of them in flower. Other than that, they seem to be hardy and a nice size.
Choosing urban street trees and examining the history is so interesting. Norway Maples used to be a preferred tree 'till they raised up all the sidewalks.
