PREVIEW

A beloved Cherry Blossom tree named 'Stumpy' will bloom for the last time this as blossoms reach peak bloom early at the Tidal Basin in Washington DC on March 18, 2023.

Visitors are heard sadly saying farewell as they pass by the cherished tree...Approximately 160 iconic trees will be removed by the National Park Service during repairs on deteriorating seawalls from rising sea levels due to climate change that have resulted in submerged roots from flooding that disrupt oxygen flow.

Construction may take 3 years and new trees will be planted
