They were specifically selected for their slower and more vertical growth to avoid the issues they had at Disneyland with the trees getting too big and dwarfing the scale of the buildings. They replaced the trees along the narrower part of DL's Main Street in the 80's with the same variety for the same reason.Chucknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-9858164058931688802014-04-14T20:44:49.151-07:002014-04-14T20:44:49.151-07:00Chiana, I'm glad today's pics made your Mo...Chiana, I'm glad today's pics made your Monday better! As for needing the mini-poster, I know it is frivolous… but I still want it!<br /><br />K. Martinez, whenever I recognize some part of Disneyland that dates back to the 50's, it makes me happy. But when I hear about something like that being removed… I don't like it!<br /><br />Chuck, I guess you don't have one of these cool new holographic monitors?<br /><br />Nancy, somehow your comment made me think "Are there trees on WDW's Main Street?". I'll have to go check!<br /><br />Ken, when will you ever learn!Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-61410393788768613932014-04-14T18:45:08.740-07:002014-04-14T18:45:08.740-07:00Too late, Chuck.

I liked the color palette they used on Main Street back in those days too.<br /><br />What's so ironic is that when Disneyland opened over half a century ago, they advertised Main Street, USA as a place of half a century ago. Now much of Disneyland is of half a century ago.K.
