"AI Overview Learn more Dogwood Trees vs. Cherry Blossoms: Key Differences and ... While both dogwood and cherry blossom trees offer stunning spring blooms, key differences lie in their flower structure, leaf edges, and overall size, with dogwoods typically having larger, 4-petaled flowers and wavy-edged leaves compared to cherry blossoms' smaller, 5-petaled flowers and finely toothed leaves.

They're Japanese Kwanzan cherry trees and actually rather badly maintained. Not sure why the branches so elongated with stunted middle growth as they appear to get full sun. Probably a lack of nitrogen and/or the soil ph (too acidic) is not optimal preventing nutrient absorption. Looks they were planted too deep into the ground as well.
Stuyvesant Town:PCV is a lovely place to live (especially if you are rent stabilized). Beautiful, quiet complex on well-kept grounds. Still love it after 35+ years in the same apt. Life has been very good! And NYC.is a great place to live.
This is a common misconception. ALL Stuyvesant Town/Peter Cooper apartments are covered under NYS RS law, the Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act (HSTPA) that was passed on 6/14/2019. Blackstone ended it's legal attack on the law claiming that many STPCV renovated apartments would lose their NYS RS protections on 7/1/2019 as per an earlier agreement with NYC under Bill de Blasio. This went all the way to the NYS Supreme Court which confirmed that the HSTPA covered ALL apartments in STPCV effective 6/14/2019. There are some major rent amount differences (legal rent) between renovated and non renovated apartments (Google the Roberts Ruling) but there are major rent protections in the HSTPA that includes the the right to be offered a 1 or 2 year lease, the NYS RS law does not sunset every 5 years as it did before, etc.,.
Yeah, we’re all rent stabilized, but my next door neighbors pay $6800 a month for the same apartment we pay $2500 for. So, stabilized, but still unaffordable. Not much help…
Yes I noted that. That rent differential is due to the Robert's ruling, Met Life was double dipping by charging lux rates and still raking in the J-51 tax credit for "affordable" housing. They were not alone in this. There should have been a massive roil back in rents, not the rather specific by person refunds that the court agreed to but hey, REBNY runs this town. BTW Blackstone is currently warehousing non renovated apartments , that practice is still legal, sigh.

Yes but Blackstone at least a few years ago referred to both properties in their marketing as "Stuy Town".
"where the cherry blossoms are in FULL bloom...
Or are these dogwoods, not cherry blossoms?

Never mind, these are cherry blossoms and they are in bloom in NYC. The ones in Central Park on the west side next to the Reservoir are spectacular.
