No, no, no: you are not dreaming! It is indeed trees that you see here in the middle of Times Square. Why, you ask? To launch MillionTreesNYC, the city's initiative to plant one million trees by the year 2017.
The city will plant 60% of trees in parks and other public spaces. The other 40% will come from private organizations, homeowners, and community organizations.

the green trees are planted to emphasize the yellow taxis

What a good idea! Though the trees are dwarfed by the skyscrapers :)

Wonderful initiative! We should have something like that here—not just in Manila but all over the Philippines.
