Ten new cherry trees were planted along Riverfront Park — increasing the number of trees that were there before the 2019 NFL Draft.

The Yoshino cherry trees were planted by Metro Parks and Recreation and placed in the spot where trees were transplanted to make room for the stage at the draft.

Crews started work at approximately 6:30 a.m. Thursday. The key to the trees' survival is plenty of water, according to horticulturist Randall Lantz, who took a hose and watered each tree.
