This tree is located in front of the Racanelli Center, just beyond the “Mystery Tree”. It is believed to be a Weeping Beech. It is also believed to have been mature when it was moved here. It is unclear at this time whether it was planted to adorn the first Idle Hour mansion in 1878, or the current mansion between 1900–1904.
