Millstone, the Crown Heights Tree With a Building-Sized Constituency
A neighborhood campaign to protect a Japanese pagoda tree with a permitted guard, native plants, and regular care.
Field notes
Millstone is identified as Styphnolobium japonicum, planted on May 6, 2022, and recorded under NYC Parks tree ID #12852218. The proposed circle-and-pickets guard is budgeted at $1,525 for the guard, permit, and installation, with another $275 reserved for native plants. A timeline separates existing maintenance from the submitted application, planned installation, signage, watering, and litter pickup, making the campaign legible as an ongoing block-level maintenance project.
