Riverwalk replants Yankee Clipper trees -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel.com:
The weather was perfect for planting trees, landscape architect Robert Dugan said.

Dugan was standing on the red brick walkway alongside the New River on a recent Saturday, watching a monster crane hoist a 50-foot coconut palm from a flatbed and place it, ever so carefully, into a 5-foot-deep hole in the ground. But these palms weren't just any trees.

Fourteen palms from the now-shuttered Yankee Clipper Hotel are being preserved and replanted near Riverwalk as part of the Riverwalk Trust's Tree Harmony program.
