Trees from the Harvard Business School
About the trees from the Harvard Business School
Harvard Business School was established in 1908 with an entering class of 80 students. Now, over 100 years later, it stands as one of the world's most recognized and celebrated academic institutions. Many of the trees on campus have witnessed nearly the entire history of the school.
As the Harvard Business School campus continues to expand, this sometimes necessitates the removal of certain trees. For example, during the construction of Klarman Hall, several trees were removed to make way for its development. The following trees were collected for this project:
Baker Library Elm
Baker Lawn Honey Locust
Klarman Hall Pin Oak and London Plane
Morgan Hall Red Elm
North Harvard Street Maple
This bowl was handcrafted from a Pin Oak tree that grew on the Harvard Business School Campus. This tree was an estimated 70 years old prior to its removal from campus. It was removed in preparation for the creation of Klarman Hall which was completed in 2018. This bowl is #22 of the 27 bowls that will be created from this tree. The bowl measures 7 1/8" by 4" tall. This bowl also showcases spectacular insect holes giving it lots of character.
Also included:
A card explaining the history of this tree on campus
Decorative packaging
Standard engraving featuring the Harvard Business School logo, or optional custom engraving on the underside of the bowl
These small nested bowls were handcrafted from trimmings of the Red Elm trees that stand outside Morgan Hall on the Harvard Business School campus. Morgan Hall, erected in 1927, has been flanked by Red Elms for nearly a century.
This nested bowl set is #1 of 3 that will be crafted from these trees. The largest bowl measures 5 1/2" in diameter and 2 1/2" in height.

This pen was handcrafted from a trimming of a Red Elm tree that stands along Harvard Way at the Harvard Business School. For decades this tree has shaded Morgan Hall and many of the faculty offices located there. These fountain pens feature a German-made, two-tone nib with an iridium point for smooth writing, along with a premium fountain ink refill cartridge.
Comes in a designer box with a card explaining the history of the tree on campus.
Both a standard Harvard Business logo and custom engraving options are available.
These pens were handcrafted from a Honey Locust tree (Gleditsia triacanthos) that grew in front of the Baker Library on the right side of the Riverfront lawn. After the top branches of the tree showed initial signs of dying, the tree was removed and immediately replaced with another mature tree in March of 2014.
Rollerball pens feature a gel ink insert and are the most popular selling pen.
