The number one hardest working tree in Toronto begins, as ever, the 2019 edition of #EveryCorporateChristmasTreeInToronto. This tree returns each year, tho Cumberland Terrace's days are numbered. As long as this tree stands, Toronto will prevail. Long live this noble tree. 14/10
Dufferin Mall Swiss Chalet tree. The Festive Special of trees. Negotiates a fraught landscape of public washroom politics. A casual tree, more quarter chicken than half, the exposed power bar suggests a deconstructionist ethos. Honest tree in a difficult, if fowl, position. 11/10
In honour of the đź’¸ it cost to get this phone running again, here’s the spendthrift Yorkville Village tree. Real tree, large girth, yet austere decoration. A vain attempt to remain humble despite obvious wealth? A tree for our times. 12/10 #EveryCorporateChristmasTreeInToronto – at Yorkville Village
Trees and plinths of 2 Bloor East - The Shining of elevator-proximal trees. The oversized balls have returned for a 3rd or 4th year. Are the big balls tired yet? The people will decide with their fickle tidings. 10.5/10
#EveryCorporateChristmasTreeInToronto – at Yonge & Bloor
Hilton tree. Top an homage to corn detasseling no doubt, suggesting tree dresser from southwest Ontario. Boxy plinth matches the late modernist brutalism style hotel is built in. A tree overseeing a season of clandestine lobby affairs. 11/10

The Crossways office tree. A tree that meets all your modern lifestyle needs. Gilded with snow dust, this tree is a throwback to the airbrushed 1980s. The Crossways has made a subway / @UPexpress direct connection difficult, but this tree is innocent. As are all trees. 12/10 – at The Crossways
