June 27th - World Trade Center - Boston

This green roof is located near Boston waterfront so oceanic winds are here very important. Roofscapes used an important wind protection plan: hidden ballasts and pre-vegetated mats to establish the vegetated coverage.

The media is quite deep (5 inches) but as you can see in the photos the Sedums coverage is excellent. As usual, I notice few clovers patches. A interesting weed specie colonize some roof area. I'm still trying to identified it but the fruits are very unusual and aesthetic. This is not a real problem for the roof itself because Sedums are very healthy and their coverage is really dense (around 100%).
