The Weeping Beech Tree

The weeping beech tree was planted in the shrubbery garden in 1889. The weeping beech tree is actually 5 trees planted closely together.

You can visit the weeping beech tree in any of the four seasons of New England and it will reveal its beauty and wonder.

This tree is very old and showing signs of decline.The gardeners of Glen Magna Farms are working hard on providing good horticultural practices to ensure the weeping beech tree can inspire beauty and wonder for the next generation of young visitors.

As a community, we can all do our part by protecting this special tree. Please do not carve into the weeping beech tree. Carving into trees creates wounds that stresses the tree and allows disease to enter. This is the biggest threat to our weeping beech tree. Thank you for protecting this special tree for the next generation.

To continue with the tour, please stay on the path and walk towards the exit of the weeping beech tree. Take your first right when you leave the weeping beech tree.

Stay on the path until you see the gazebo on your left. Walk off the path towards the gazebo. Walk straight through the gazebo staying on the main path. Walk towards the mansion and stop half way when you reach the two benches in the middle of the pathway.
