Weeping Beech, Historic tree in Flushing, United States
The Weeping Beech stands within Weeping Beech Park near Kingsland Homestead, displaying long branches that cascade toward the ground like a natural canopy.
Samuel Parsons imported this European tree cutting from Belgium in 1846, establishing it as the first weeping beech specimen in North America.
The New York City Department designated this tree as an official landmark in 1966, recognizing its status as a living monument in Queens.
The tree location at 37th Avenue provides a natural gathering space for visitors exploring the historical sites of Flushing, including Kingsland Homestead.
After the original tree perished in 1998, workers preserved a cross-section and planted a new specimen in the same location to continue its legacy.
