Oh no! Reader Marc Bloomgarden sent us the above picture, saying, "this iconic Weeping willow has fallen in to the Pool in Central Park." It survived the August storm that took down so many trees in the Park, so we reached out to the Central Park Conservancy to find out what felled this willow. We'll update when we hear back from them.
