Yes, that tree along with about 20 more like it were destroyed by the NYC Parks Department for a major park "renovation" that extended the central concrete plaza without these trees and currently provide no shade, lovely foliage or wind buffer, not long after this photo was taken
This is such a beautiful and full tree! The green and yellow shades look amazing together. I wonder how often a tree like this would have to be serviced.http://www.carlostreeservice.net/about
