The Oregonian | Portland's oldest 'Heritage Tree' is removed @oregonian | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
Portland’s oldest Heritage Tree, which, at more than 150 years old, had been determined to be near the end of its life, has been removed.

“Heritage Trees” are trees that Portland City Council has formally recognized for their age, significance or other qualities. The first such designation was made in 1975.

Heritage Tree No. 1, known as the “Burrell Elm” or “Rosa’s Tree,” was located on Southwest 10th Avenue across from the Portland Art Museum and was planted in 1870 by Rosetta and Martin Burrell, according to a plaque on its trunk.
