DNAInfo: Advocates aim to landmark Woodside tree
Local historians and community activists are looking to landmark a giant beech tree in Woodside that may have been planted more than 150-years ago.
The tree — which is taller than the 5-story building it stands next to — grows on what today is 63rd Street, between Woodside Avenue and Queens Boulevard.
According to Richard Hourahan, collections manager at the Queens Historical Society, some documents indicate that the tree may have been planted between the American Revolutionary War or Civil War period.

It’s worth noting that the large stump on 47th? was pulled up. It looked like it was massive before it was cut down.
Lol Cut that shit before it hits someone
Liberal hippy tree huggers would rather save a tree than fight terrorism. It’s the end of our country & you can thank Barack Hussein Obama
@Patriot
Newsflash: You can be for saving trees and against terrorism at the same time.
One doesn’t necessarily cancel out the other.
Wait, Obama cut down the tree on 47th!!??? WTF man!!!???
Why are trees being cut down at Lodati Park?
