About Magnolia grandiflora (Brooklyn)

Other, Unclassified Objects, Interesting Places, Historic Object

The Magnolia grandiflora at 679 Lafayette Avenue, Brooklyn is one of two trees that are designated a New York City landmark. The specimen is a rare example of a flourishing laurel magnolia growing as far north as New York. The tree was brought as a seedling from North Carolina and planted around 1885 by William Lemken. Beginning in the 1950s, it was protected by Hattie Carthan, who enlisted neighborhood schoolchildren to help raise money to protect the tree, which was threatened by the construction of a parking lot.
