The Benenson Ornamental Conifers at the New York Botanical Garden is a captivating 15-acre collection featuring over 400 beautiful and exotic conifer specimens. From miniature pines to towering blue Atlas cedars, the garden showcases a diverse array of shapes, sizes, and colors. Visitors can explore curving paths, admiring unusual varieties like the snake branch spruce and ghostly silver-needled cedars. The collection offers year-round interest, with conifers in shades of green, blue, and yellow. A stone and cedar pavilion provides a serene spot for reflection. Recently restored, this garden is a testament to the beauty and variety of conifers, offering a restorative experience for nature enthusiasts.
Always fun learning about pine trees.
Lorenzo Z Tartaglia; Outstanding conifers, truly awesome. Enchanting landscape, gives the impression that one is out west on the mountains of the Sierra Nevada. And also has giant redwood specimens, although still very small and too young to be giants yet. BUT one may still dream of what a spectacular sight in 200 to 300 hundred years. So come on back then!
