The Fairhaven Beech

This beautiful tree is no more but it's history is interesting.

The above link will bring you to a site concerning the life of this majestic tree . I've known the tree since the 70s . It was located at Planting Fields Arboratum until being cut down this past February because of disease . Read the story about it , it will give you an interesting insight into what the very rich will do with money if it suits them. This picture doesn't show it but the tree covered a quarter acre so say about 100 by 100 . There is also a story about the tree in todays newsday part 2 which is what made me think about it . If you can find it online its a good story too , Allan
