Please note: Due to the condition of this magnificent Tree I am sorry to report that sometime during the  summer of 2003 this approximately 183 year old tree will have to be taken down. A sad day indeed!!

UP DATE: AS OF AUGUST 2003 THE BEAUTIFUL CUCUMBER TREE FELL DURING THE SEVERE STORMS OF THIS PAST AUGUST. SUCH A SAD LOSS INDEED TO BELAIR MANSION AND PRINCE GEORGES COUNTY!
