After wrestling with Sketchup for a few hours, here’s my proposal for memorial benches and potted tree to restore some shade to the Central Plaza and memorialize the Leaning American Elm just removed. I propose a potted tree as they cannot dig into the spot for fear of damaging the roots of the Krishna Tree.

Bendy Ground Down

I went out this morning hoping to get a good shot of the tree rings, so to date this American Elm. I brought a bottle of water with me to make the rings more visible. I was thinking to come back with sandpaper to make the surface smooth if needed. But alas they had ground the stump away already. I have a shot of a cross-section of the trunk from last Saturday, but I don’t think it will be adequate for reading the rings. They will not be planting another tree here for fear of damaging the roots of the Krishna Tree.

Last Day of the Leaning Elm

Posted on September 21, 2014 3 Comments


The Leaning Elm, one of a pair of American Elms in the Central Plaza of Tompkins Square Park was cut down yesterday. The arborists feared that it was a danger to the public. Reverend Billy showed up to try and climb the tree and tree-sit to prevent it coming down.
