I love the grounds and the mansion, called "Coe Hall" at Planting Fields Arboretum. We wandered around the grounds after visiting the greenhouse, and I was shocked and saddened to see this magnificent giant Linden tree, which was a state champion, uprooted and lying on its side on the lawn. I have photographed this tree hundreds of times over the years This was a huge tree - I am guessing that the diameter was at least 80 feet, and it was probably over fifty feet tall. If you walked under all the branches that were hanging down, there was a whole world inside. It was a magical place. So terribly sad that it is gone.
