The story

The Hare Krishna Tree is a designated Great Tree, an American elm in the central plaza of Tompkins Square Park. Members of the Hare Krishna religion regard it as important because Prabhupada and his followers held the first outdoor chanting session outside India beneath its branches. The park still holds a large assemblage of elms, although Dutch Elm Disease has killed many of them.
