I'm surprised they actually put trees on top of the Woodward building like that. If they tried it here those trees would get blown off for sure!

How do they replace one if it dies?

Or... just plant a seed? Sure there'd be a gap for awhile, but that far in the air would be really be that noticeable?

You would have to crane it up.

Pull it up via the window washing crane? Bring a decent sized sapling up in the freight elevator? There are any number of ways to replace it I would imagine.

There are some trees at the top of Shangri-La that are getting decently tall too.

Lower it down from a helicopter? They do the opposite for some forestry operations in BC.

Sweet Hamilton angle, probably my favourite I've seen of the larger skyline.
