Rarities — species with fewer than 50 trees citywide
1,207 trees match this lens — 0.2% of Toronto's catalogued street-tree inventory.
Toronto's planting list has a long tail. After the 100,000 Norway maples and 60,000 honey locusts and the rest of the dominant cohort, there are 81 species each represented by fewer than 50 trees in the entire city. Most are recent ornamental experiments; a few are Carolinian natives at the northern edge of their range. All of them are worth a detour if you're nearby.
