This is one of my favorite weird spots that is kind of tucked in between buildings where not a lot of people see it. It's a hybrid tree called a Weeping American Elm, but it looks like a giant bonzai tree to me. The huge branches extend much further horizontally than vertically, so there are metal poles placed to keep them from collapsing under their own weight. Pictures do not do it justice; you just have to see it. It's really incredible. (For more interesting information about local Elm trees, click on the link that shows all of the past logs and read the entry by Ford Alpha on Aug. 14, 2003.)
There is some visitor parking right next to it, but I have a better idea. Park half a block away on Provo's Center Street and get lunch at one of several enjoyable restaurants nearby (Gandolfo's is gone =( ) Then walk over and enjoy lunch at the picnic tables in the large shady area underneath the tree.
To log a find, you must post a picture of yourself in front of the tree OR email me 2 things. First, the interesting full names of the two people sent to Ogden to retrieve the tree when it was originally transplanted in 1927. Second, what do the small white signs on the supports say? I will have to delete any posts without an email or picture. (You don't have to do both requirements.) Have fun!
