Veterans — Toronto's catalogued elders

6,424 trees match this lens — 0.9% of Toronto's catalogued street-tree inventory.

Toronto's street-tree inventory caps DBH at 250 cm, but the genuinely-large trees — those with trunk diameters of one metre or more — are a small, scattered population of 6,400-odd specimens, almost all of them more than a century old. This is what's left of the pre-war canopy plus the deliberately-protected veterans of the contemporary city.
