George Harrison memorial tree, killed by beetles, to be replaced today

George Harrison was quoting ancient spiritual wisdom when he titled his 1970 solo album “All Things Must Pass,” never suspecting the proverb would one day apply to the fate of a pine tree planted in his memory in Griffith Park.

But a Los Angeles City Council member, a longtime fan and other Harrison admirers are doing their part Wednesday, on what would have been the former Beatle’s 72nd birthday, to right a wrong committed last year when an insect infestation — yes, they were beetles — killed what was known as the George Harrison Tree.

A new tree of a different species — a yew pine, chosen by Harrison’s family — is slated to replace the original Canary Island pine tree in a small-scale ceremony near Griffith Observatory.

When word went out last year that the original tree had been felled by tree beetles, news quickly shot around the world and the story made international headlines.George Harrison was quoting ancient spiritual wisdom when he titled his 1970 solo album “All Things Must Pass,” never suspecting the proverb would one day apply to the fate of a pine tree planted in his memory in Griffith Park.
