Palace Trees Can't Stand Time: Goodbye, Jackson Magnolia!

In Washington, the historic Magnolia tree planted by President Andrew Jackson at the White House is to be removed due to safety concerns. This iconic tree, symbolizing centuries of history, has grown frail with age, posing potential risks. In its place, a new Magnolia tree has been grown from the original’s seed, keeping its legacy alive. History is delicate, even in nature, as endless regulations dictate the preservation of safety over sentiment in the government’s own yard. There’s something poetic about laws preserving life while cutting down memory.
