Trees Grow in St John the Baptist Tower in City
Curiosity centers on the unfinished tower of St John the Baptist Roman Catholic Church on Thirtieth Street near Seventh Avenue. Sixty feet above ground, two to five young ailanthus trees have sprouted from crevices, thriving on soil formed by accumulated sand and dust.
