    Hotel Bonaventure in Montreal. Some of the pines are pushing 20 m.

      Gorgeous! My climate is very dry which might make this kind of project difficult. Most trees survive by either constant irrigation or extremely deep roots.

        It’s a pretty unique environment for North America as well. The building takes up an entire city block so it can hold the weight of what is basically a boreal forest on top. The building is almost 60 years old so the trees are quite sizable. And there are a lot of them! I can see 9 from my window and that is not close to all of them.
