I’m 67 and a lifelong tree hugger. This really breaks my heart! Why not go around the tree and extend the shoreline out farther as well as higher! If it’s a money thing I’ll donate towards the extra cost!
I wish I could save Stumpy ... I hope to visit it this Saturday as I travel for a memorial ... I was unable to visit on our way back from Eclipse on Tuesday/Wednesday due to weather.
Save the tree, it deserves it, not that hard, just save the tree because it represents so much to so many, the ultimate metaphor, the technology exists to save the tree, so do it!
Bartlett Tree should bring their 90in tree spade truck in on Arbor Day to save Stumpy. 2 things would be accompanied, the significance of Arbor Day and The Care of Trees(young and old)
I’ll be in Washington Saturday I want clippings from stumpy and only stumpy I have an orchard in Detroit Michigan and would love the next generation of Stumpies to grow there
No. I'm no fan of the NPS, but they have to do something about the constant flooding at the Jefferson Memorial. The ground is sinking and the water is getting higher. Its a massive project.
Come on! How could it be impossible to move Stumpy? It may be expensive but it should be done. I'll bet that a Gofundme campaign would gather up enough moolah.
I see no reason to remove these historic trees. Build the wall further into the water, and leave the trees undisturbed. Also, I have seen huge Live Oak trees moved in Hermann Park in Houston, Texas. Where there is a will, there is a way.
If you see no reason to remove the trees you only listened to the story selectively. The wall needs to be raised (and assumably so does some land behind it) because the water level is rising.
That's bc Texas wastes money on dumb projects like moving trees, instead of modernizing their infrastructure, like problems with the electrical grid after hurricanes (sound familiar), and making sure their citizens have proper heating in winter.
@@zbagz01 Yes, I used to work with a tree company that removed trees like Stumpy and it's bigger cousins all the time. We dug up trees up to 30' plus high and weighing up to 20,000 pounds, routinely.
They should allow for a more natural floodplain. They’re going to spend millions and continue to spend millions on this single project. For all the government agencies that try to promote natural shorelines, it surprises me the ACE, NPS, and others are in favor of rebuilding the sea wall.
Stumpy may die, either way, try to save ALL the trees. It will take a human generation, for the newly planted cherries to be even remotely as lush as the current trees. Just a spectacular lack of imagination from the National Park Service.
In 1865 Japan sent it's representatives to Washington DC to congratulate Lincoln on keeping the Union Whole. Sakura, Cherry Trees were planted up and down the east coast to see if they would survive to cold, and bloom in the spring. Boston, No. NYC, No, Philly, Yes! In 1908 Japan survived it's own Civil War, so in 1912Japan gave the people of the United States enough Sakura trees to hang every member of the government they needed too, from the SCOTUS, to every member of Congress, to the President if needed! In a speech made at the dedication of the trees, one speaker said, May this land never fear a Civil war, unless the Government cuts these trees down, as a sign of a broken trust with it's people. Yikes!
Why do Americans call them CHERRY trees? They don't produce any fruit.... They are Japanese SAKURA trees, in english translated to CHERRY BLOSSOM, not simply CHERRY or Cherries.... Ignorance.
@@zbagz01 the water is getting higher because most of D.C. is built on marsh-land that was filled in. You can only tame Mother Nature for so long before she reasserts herself. "Climate change" has nothing to do with it.
I never thought I would get emotional over a tree!
Stumpy is a national treasure.
Save Stumpy!!!
Stumpy is the best aspect of Washington DC. I like to look at cherry trees.
Save Stumpy!❤
Don't mess with Stumpy!
Long live Stumpy!❤😊

Next time vote the right way and you won't face this evil.
@@cmaxi20 Yeah, guess who removed a whole bunch of laws when his term came and went and we're seeing the results of that negligence?

Stumpy is my hero. 🌸🌸🌸
We can send a man to the moon but yet we can't save Stumpy.
what a great story and beautiful life of a stumpy
Spring time in DC is not the same without cherry blossom 🌸🌸🌸
Thanks Deborah
Stumpy!

Stumpy could be saves, they just choose not to.

@@zbagz01 how about don't fill in wetlands (which is necessary for a healthy river) and then build on it?
they need to save the trees
Interesting!!
It's sad to see but it is the way of the forest

It's the cycle of life.

Stumpy needs to be moved !!!
There are literally machines can move these trees!
They have to at least cast it in bronze somewhere. Mount it to a stone and put it in the water. The tree that never moved.
None of those trees should be dug up. Find a way to save them.
Got any bright ideas? The water was so high last week that the Jefferson Memorial was flooded.

Save Stumpy and transplant him😢😮😊
This is oddly too emotional for some strange reason
Its its removed they better make a replicate
noooohoooohooo nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh why GOD ohhhhhhhh wwwwhhhhhyyyy!!!
Stumpy clones!

That "floodplain" you mention includes the Jefferson Memorial. The Tidal Basin is man-made to begin with.
@@zbagz01 So? They should've never built anything there. Removing wetlands is terrible for a river.
@@TylerD288 Wetlands? It wasn't wetlands. The Tidal Basin is a man-made lake that was constructed over a hundred years ago.
@@zbagz01 D.C. was mostly marshes when the founders decided to put the capitol there.
@@zbagz01 also, the term "wetlands" encompasses: marine (ocean), estuarine (estuary), riverine (river), lacustrine (lake), and palustrine (marsh).
Happy now? 🙄

$113,000,000? 🤦🏻♂️
Yes, this is what men get excited about later in life.
People in the comments section watch a four minute news story and suddenly they're expert arborists. This exemplifies what's wrong with our country.
Post your Curriculum Vitae and resume of Forestry and Arborist training.
Okay.
😮l
KENNEDY is the answer!!!
To what? Even his campaign manager said a vote for RFK is a vote for Trump.
dont ever give a tree fame, some crackhead always cuts it down for clout

2:00 They can't resist but injecting climate change propaganda into a video about a tree. 🤣
The water IS getting higher. And the fact that it is tidal makes the situation even worse. The Jefferson Memorial was flooded last week.
@@zbagz01 Hey look, a victim of propaganda. Can't relate, sorry bro.
