A black cottonwood tree that grows at Garðastræti 11a in downtown Reykjavík has been named Tree of the Year 2016 by the Icelandic Forestry Association (Skógræktarfélag Íslands).
A small award ceremony will take place tomorrow at 3 pm at the tree’s location – the historic Grjótaþorp area.
The award’s aim is to elevate the public awareness of local afforestation programmes and the many different tree species that grown in Iceland.
The black cottonwood, called Alaskaösp in Icelandic, is popular in Iceland for its fast growth and scented foliage.
