The Michael Jackson tree in Budapest. Do you know the story behind it?

Grok to the rescue: The Michael Jackson Memorial Tree is a unique tribute located in Erzsébet Square, Budapest, Hungary, opposite the Kempinski Hotel Corvinus where Michael Jackson stayed during his visits in 1994 and 1996. A Western Hackberry (Celtis occidentalis), it was dedicated by fans after his death on June 25, 2009, and has since become a permanent, community-maintained shrine. The tree is adorned with photos, handwritten letters, plastic roses, golden stars, candles, and memorabilia like Pepsi cans featuring Jackson’s image, with decorations extending over three meters up the trunk. Fans gather annually on his birthday (August 29) and death anniversary (June 25) to dance, sing, and celebrate his legacy, often reenacting his iconic performances in flash mobs. The site, accessible 24/7 near Deák Ferenc Square and the Budapest Eye, is a heartfelt, DIY monument reflecting Jackson’s global impact and Hungarian fans’ devotion.
