Washington, D.C. to Lose Over 100 Cherry Trees in Tidal Basin Restoration

Washington, D.C. is set to remove over 100 iconic cherry trees, including one known as 'Stumpy,' as part of a long overdue restoration project for the Tidal Basin. The deteriorated seawall will be replaced to prevent flooding and protect the cherry trees' roots. The renovation project will take three years and cost $113 million.

Washington , D.C. , is set to lose over 100 of its iconic cherry trees next year, including one lovingly referred to as 'Stumpy.' The trees will be removed as part of a multiyear restoration of the Tidal Basin , one that has been 'long overdue,' the Associated Press noted. In the summer of 2024, work will begin to replace the Tidal Basin 's seawall, which reportedly has been in need of repairs for years.

The current seawall has deteriorated to the point where the Potomac River floods the area around the cherry trees twice each day at high tide. The waters flood not only the paths pedestrians use to walk around the Tidal Basin, they also cover the roots of some of the cherry trees. The renovation project will take about three years and will come at a cost of $113 million, said Mike Litterst, National Park Service spokesman for the National Mall, on Friday to Fox News Digita
