Historic Vegetation at Montrose Park

Montrose Park. Historic vegetation from the estate period. A) Osage orange trees along the Ropewalk (2008); B) Grove of American beech trees on the northernmost edge of the plateau (2007); C) Tulip poplar witness tree (Photo by Jet Lowe, HALS, 2007). Even where vegetation has changed, the general character of the vegetative areas remains the same with a combination of open lawns, wooded edges, and designed areas.
