Anne Frank Tree in Trouble | New York City News

A beloved symbol of hope in Lower Manhattan, the Anne Frank Tree — a descendant of the one Anne Frank admired during her hiding — is in distress, looking bare and brown amid ongoing efforts to save it. Planted a decade ago to honor her legacy, the tree has faced fungal attacks deep in its roots, with experts from Cornell uncovering new threats. The Port Authority and Anne Frank Center are racing against time, weighing heat, sun, and water as potential culprits, while holding onto hope that this resilient tree will bounce back — just like it has before. With 22 such trees across the U.S., this isn’t an isolated case, but its survival still means everything. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
