Barry, if you would like to see a weeping beech that is still alive and awesome, check this link.
http://www.pabigtrees.com/trees/images/Bane%20w%20beech%203.JPG it measures 12.1cbh x 64.7' tall x 93' spread It is our state champ in Pa and was planted in the mid 1700's. It is European weeping beech on American Beech root stock. It has 9 sister stems where it has touched the ground and rooted. It is quite the monster. I think the story about the NY tree being the mother of all weepers may be incorrect due to the date of this tree.
