Fact Checking Tree Falling On Beekman - A Large Piece Of A Tree Fell On Beekman - Entire Tree Fell Last Year
/
Following up to Wednesday’s article about the tree falling on Beekman, a resident, Katherine Mahoney, wrote in to A Little Beacon Blog to say: “Get your facts right! On 7/29 a tree did not fall. A big branch fell off the tree onto Beekman. I was there😊”
Two sources had verified to ALBB that “a tree fell.” However, to get more precise information, ALBB inspected the tree close to the sidewalk, on the other side of the fence of the Hammond Plaza residential units. While there, Katherine and another person was outside inspecting the tree. ALBB approached to learn more, and asked whose property the tree was on for future tree maintenance. Neither could confirm, but Katherine said: “We are trying to get a survey.” Katherine also recalled another tree incident last year along the sidewalk.
One year ago to the day, a Tree in the same line as this year’s branch break uprooted and fell into Hammond Plaza.

It was speculated that more than one tree was not healthy, whereby a large branch falling into the street, such as Wednesday’s incident, may happen again.
Just one year ago, an entire tree fell over at the root, as photographed on July 30, 2025. A reader of ALBB submitted this time-stamped photo of the tree that fell in the direction of Hammond Plaza last year, almost reaching the residential parking lot and a parked car. Had it fallen the other way, it would have blocked the road.
