Los Angeles: A tree has been planted in a Los Angeles park in memory of George Harrison to replace one that was killed by a beetle infestation.
City News Service says a yew pine honouring the late Beatles guitarist was planted on Wednesday in Griffith Park on what would have been Harrison’s 72nd birthday.
It was placed near the Griffith Observatory and replaces a Canary Island pine that was planted in 2004.
Harrison died in 2001.
A plaque near the tree site says it honours “a great humanitarian who touched the world as an artist, a musician and gardener.”
