Tree Hunt: Weeping European Birch

This tree is a kind of Frankenstein monster growing just down the hill from Mead Chapel. Forming one of the most unique trees at Middlebury, a weeping willow branch was grafted to a beech tree’s trunk over a century ago If you look closely, the graft mark is still visible along the base of the beech’s trunk.
