There is a very tall eucalyptus tree located in the courtyard area of Biltmore Fashion Park. It's been standing there since the beginning of the mall which was 1963.
Just recently, I notice a little plaque on the side of the tree.
On closer look, I discovered it was a memorial plaque to someone named Ruben Mendez. I tried to find out who this was but could find no link of someone named Ruben Mendez and Biltmore Fashion Park.
I might take a wild guess that he might have been a landscape gardener or grounds keeper.
It's an interesting little memorial. I have no idea when it was placed on the tree.
