Feds to cut down hundreds of Cherry Blossoms at the Tidal Basin, including Stumpy

- Yesterday they announced they would cut down several hundred cherry blossoms around the Tidal Basin (I heard 300, but it seems now more like 150). Rising water levels have damaged the seawall near the Jefferson Memorial and they are going to remove the trees to fix the seawall, including the most iconic cherry blossom--Stumpy. This is a small tree that refuses to die, blooming each year despite the fact most of the tree is now gone.

Seems like they could transplant Stumpy. But wait...that is much to logical for the government. It is "how much can we screw things up and anger as many people as possible?"
Or it could be well we don't want to put too much effort into planting Stumpy so we'll do what we want to do.
Stumpy is nearly dead. You cannot rehabilite a tree missing 80% of its trunk.
No, No, No, please don't cut down the iconic cherry trees. Especially Stumpy!!!
The tradition of celebrating the blooming of cherry trees in Japan is centuries old. The planting of cherry trees in Washington DC originated in 1912 as a gift of friendship to the People of the United States from the People of Japan.
Don't understand why they don't graft the trees to root stock so the original ones can continue living .
These trees were a gift to our country and deserve the honor of carrying that symbol forward.
Can't believe it that the decision to just rip them out has been made. Hopefully they will rethink the decision.
I know the repair work to the Poole needs to be done ,but don't destroy 100 year old trees. SAVE THEM AS GRAFTS!!!
Why can't they replant all the cherry blossom trees?
Thank you for showing us, Stumpy!
I never knew about Stumpy!
You do such a great job of showing us buildings and great information on Washington DC!
Thank you!🇺🇸
It is a real shame that the food trucks all went downhill going from selling variety of diverse international type foods to just serving hotdogs, fries, burgers ice cream and them all serving the same things here.
No! Don’t destroy the trees
Removing everything beautiful remaining in DC
Good
Progressives in ACTION
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing the trees with us. Sad they are going to remove them…..too bad they won’t save them.m
Stumpy is to Cherry Blossom as Charlie Brown tree is to Christmas.
But he is still far more Beautiful than the Progressive Swampies
......
Haha...good call, Girl! (Insert Schroeder piano music 🎶🎵 GIF here) lol Be well! 🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸🍀🇺🇸
Sorry I missed the live. Was keeping an eye on our weather. Too bad about the cherry trees, but I guess I get it. Stumpy is the little tree that could. It'll probably take them 3 or 4 years to cut them down at the rate they work. Thank you for a nice ride today.
Stumpy looks like a creation of the imagination of Salvador Dali.
My Dad was a foresty college for 40 years in upstate New York His nick name was Stumpy at Paul Smiths College Teacher
they should box up the live ones & replant when the wall is finished.
I hate seeing these hundreds of cherry trees to be removed. Hopefully after they are removed, they will plant new cherry trees in their place.
Thanks for the video. Sad to see the trees go
They are destroying this Earth little by little...day by day!
"They"....you mean US right? every human is busy creating trash, driving cars, ignoring natures fragility and mindlessly consuming because we are told to....We are all the problem.
Thank you so much for taking me on a bike ride around the capital! I wouldn't get to otherwise! Grateful for your reports also❤
No burgers for me. It was March 14, National Pi day. Celebrated with slices of pizza "Pi" and a slice of apple "Pi".
So sad to lose these beautiful trees! Look forward to you showing these every year! But if they are already dying theres nothing else to do! But I would love to see stumpy replanted!! Thanks for showing these p6!❤ sorry your u turn went bad but glad you were okay!
Me and my wife love your channel and seen you drive by today while viewing the White House from the Ellipse on south lawn and we made it into your video today . Keep up the good work , wish we could’ve met you today .
Isn't there an organization that can replant those trees? I hate waste. Looks like the community could get together and take them to another place to replant to improve the neighborhoods. When our city streets were being widened, I asked the owners of the rootbeer stand if I could have the shrubs to plant in my front yard so they wouldnt be thrown away. They turned out beautiful in my yard 😍 Thanks Andrew 😊
Those trees are either dear or they are dying. Replanting them makes no sense, and it isn't wasteful turning them into mulch. In the end when the project is finished new Cherry trees will be planted.
At the moment Americans wake up and understand that their kids are under a lethal threat things will change. Until then - thank you for every video. Your information is precious. God bless you!
Most likely some of the trees are past there like span. The ones in bloom are so pretty. I hope you didn't get hurt. Not fun falling. OK thanks somuch. .
Washington DC once a place of pride, how can things go wrong so fast?
Making room for a water wall, to keep the water out. Possibly learn a lesson, I so enjoy your labor P6.
I remember hearing about the Marion Berry story hitting the crack pipe! Seeing the video of it too!! He was a character!!!
It is nice to see the flags for those who lost their lives to colorectal cancer. However, everyone who died of colorectal cancer should be recognized regardless of their age as opposed to limiting the recognition for those between 20 and 50 only. This is ageism against all those under 20 years old and against all those over 50 years old who all could of died of colorectal cancer in their teens and younger and over 50 as well.
Relocate those Cherry Trees!!
Thank you.
God bless. Thank you for all your content and information
8:53 Get back up & get back on that horse 🐎 Penguin! 🐧Can’t keep a good man down!!
The videos are normally great, but Penguinsix should wear a bicycle helmet. He would be safer, and it would also set a good example for his viewers.
Sad, so SAD.......one of the most beautiful areas of DC.....they just keep up the destruction.
Oh no, not the Cherry Blossoms😢
I don't think any of the Tidal Basin trees are origional. Actually the tree in the garden of the Jefferson Building is from the period but wasn't of the original gift. It has been used to replenish the trees on the Tidal Basin.
I think many of the trees being removed aren't doing well because they are overwatered because if the flooding. NPS does have a growing program so they can replace trees destroyed by whatever... including beavers.
? 🤦♀️
It is so sad that the sakura trees are being chopped down. Some healthy ones can be replanted elsewhere.
Thank you for the tour of DC on a beautiful day. I know it was later in the day, but nice to know there were no calls for criminal events.
Beautiful 🦘🦘🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘🇦🇺🇦🇺
George Washington would be outraged to hear about the cherry trees🤔😁great clips 😊🎉
I can see fix the problem and when all finished, replant the cherry trees. Thanks for the video. Hope you are okay after your bike mishap. I found it funny when you said that could drive up by the nation's capital when Richard Nixon was president. Have some corn beef and cabbage.
I had been reading about the cherry trees. The ornamental cherry trees lifetime is only about 20 years. Don’t know if that’s what kind of trees are planted there. Maybe will need to replant more.
Wow. Just ruined my day. That said, I've just decided to plant a Cherry tree in my front yard. I have room for at least 2.
Cherry trees don't live that long anyways, 10-30 years is a common lifespan. It's a natural cycle.
The cherry trees were all gifts from Japan many years ago ....
move the trees to the other side of the walk way
Beautiful trees with beautiful blooms. I’m wondering if they are fragrant?🌺🌸🌺
Thank you with the things to know
Will U.S. taxpayers fund the replacement of the cherry trees, or will the White House be dozed over instead?
That one tree you said was a Japanese cherry blossom looks like a pink dog wood tree I think magnolia trees have big white silky peddles that smell really nice
Thank you
I can't see it myself. NPS know how much money is spent by tourism when the cherry blossom season is on so I'm sure they'll sort it out another way
I lived within a national park. There’s something most don’t get. The NPS is not in the business of making money. They can print more money. They don’t need tourism. They have more “customers” flocking to national parks than they care to deal with. People are a maintenance nightmare! They want to do everything possible to make it as difficult and miserable as possible so as to deflect people from coming.
You should have checked out the suspicious Federal utilities plant located at 1120 Ohio Dr SW, Washington, DC 20024. It is not clear what that building is for and it is owned by the US Federal government.
What is suspect about it?
As to the food trucks .... I guess DC don't know about GoJacks. Heck, even a flatbed could get a car and a food truck. 😂
Thanks for the DC tour, P6!❤
But the basin DEFINITELY needs major attention.
Branch Brook Park In Newark NJ is covered with cherry blossoms
SAVE THE TREES!!! ❤
When do you think the cherry trees will be removed for the tidal basin project?
Where are all the goblist save the earth they can't save seedlings to replant more
Smoke spotted near the Lincoln Memorial on the National Mall in Washington DC? Is it true?
Car fire in Virginia just across the river. Looked like the Mall but it was the other side.
@@PenguinsixThank you.
I’m sure that many professional arborists have been consulted about these iconic trees, so it has not been just a willy-nilly decision. The root systems would be enormous & difficult to remove in order to transplant them, & the trees might not survive. My hope is that, as someone else mentioned, they can take grafts of some of them, then after the wall is fixed, replant the new grafted trees. And I do hope they send some of the wood to artists who can make some beautiful pieces to be displayed somewhere.
I like your idea, Friend. Also Cherry Wood is good in a smoker. In any case I hope they don’t put it all in a chipper and into a compost pile. The wood is historic and should be put towards a profitable use. Maybe proceeds can go to feed the hungry.
Not a chance. This is another political decision to erase history. If you know how the Park Service operates, 'consulting many professional arborists' is the last thing they'd do. If they need to pretend, they might pay some cronies to say it happened. If only the government worked the way many people think it works.
@@LVA22-y1m There is no political decision here to erase history, and the fact that you claim it is makes me wonder if you are drunk, high, or just plain stupid. The reality is that the trees are either dead or dying, and they need to replace the seawall n the area and these trees are just in the way. When the repair is done they will plant new cherry trees.
I pray you're right.
Sounds too logical for DC, though.
Maybe someone will come up w/idea to use the cherry wood ! Maybe a bunch of salt an pepper shakers ...😆 🤣
They're cleaning the swamp. LOL
We've got a magnificently beautiful Jefferson Memorial, but it's not a Jeffersonian Empire of Liberty.
He never stole from DC. Some of the people he hired did.
Hope you are OK after your bike event
Please wear a bicycle helmet.
Do not ride a bicycle any longer Everyone needs to wear a helmet
Evergreens do better on a slope, so the water can drain. They tend to die off if the water has no place to go.
True. Also Could Be a soil Issue. Perhaps not acidic enough. Too well groomed of a field. They like decaying forest floors.
@@cumberlandquiltchic1 Our pine is thriving in our front yard after years of being planted. Our yard does slope towards the road though. We never had the soil tested and 😊my son was very young then and just wanted to plant it. He’s 40 years old now and still calls it his tree.
(5:16)when i crash i end up in the hospital, be careful...
That place is so creepy
Do you go to the Tune Inn
I've been once in the last five years. Tasted the same as 20 years ago.
P 6 Andrew IS THE BEST
THANKS P6 🐧🥂🥂🥂
They are Destroying everything else. . . . . . .
Do the cherry trees have a fragrance?
Yes, it smells nice.
Wow who tells the rules in the am . What about handicapp parking .
Hi Penguin 6! Is there a fire at the National Mall today?
No, car fire in Virginia just across the river. Looked like the Mall but it was the other side.
Was there a fire behind the Lincoln Monument this AM??
Car fire in Virginia, just across the river.
Very disappointing that the great minds choose to remove trees that are part of the history rather than at least try to save them. The Cherry Blossom Trees are a traditional beautiful peaceful part of the Tidal Basin. Disappointing. Hopefully something positive with happen with this decision to remove trees.
🎉
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
P 6 ANDREW IS THE BEST TOO?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO……….!
Come on redo stumpy
You need to up your diet. How about a Reuben once in a while? Those fries looked kinda greasy.
Nothing really is shocking these days. Just get Joe out of there and things will get better.
Just get Mr. Trump back in there and things will get worse. Anybody recall the last time Mr. Trump was president? It really did not go very well.
Well, for you better clearly means going with the actual rapist in Donald J. Trump. So why you do you support rape and rapists?
No need for the MAGA Hitler
You must have been a sleep 🤪the state of the US now with Biden in power 😡plus DT wouldn’t of let this happen either 🤪
@@USroute1So you are doing so much better now with Biden in charge?? Must be saving a ton of money huh?
There destroying Gods crastion
I thought Biden was concerned about the environment. Guess not.
Please... You think the U.S. President looks over each and every plan like what individual trees to save and what to protect?
They want to make all ugly....
No they don't. You can find information of the project online where is it is made clear that new trees, including Cherry trees, will be planted when the project is done. Right now the location looks like a muddy mess with areas of dead and dying trees.
Five Guys for dinner🍔🍔🍔🍔🍔🍔🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟👏👏👏👏👏👏
In England UK they've shrunk the 5 guy's burgers down so much. I refuse to pay nearly £10 quid for one!
put stumpy on the wh grounds... remembering biden aging
