On February 22, 2004, a pine tree sapling planted in Griffith Park was dedicated to the memory of George Harrison. The former member of The Beatles passed away in 2001. He was an avid horticulturist. A bronze plaque is on display at the base of the tree.
Ironically, the tree died in 2014 after being infested by beetles. The tree grew to over 10 feet tall. There are plans to plant a replacement tree at this location.
