John D. MacArthur moved an 80-year-old 75-ton Banyan tree from Lake Park to the new city entrance in Palm Beach Gardens. With a 60-foot height and 125-foot spread, the tree required four months of root work and eight hours of hauling along a ten-mile route. The operation halted traffic, drew crowds, and withstood a near crash when cables briefly failed. MacArthur said he wanted the tree to stand at the gateway and could not buy time.
