White House To Remove Tree Dating Back to Andrew Jackson

A 🌳Magnolia Tree former President 👤Andrew Jackson planted at the White House almost two centuries ago will be removed as it poses a possible hazard.

President 👤Donald Trump made the announcement Sunday on X after talking over the situation with Executive Residence Staff and the National Park Service, The Hill reported.

“The bad news is that everything must come to an end, and this tree is in terrible condition, a very dangerous safety hazard, at the White House Entrance, no less, and must now be removed,” Trump wrote on social media about “making tremendous enhancements to the White House.”

The wood from the tree will then be used elsewhere.

“This process will take place next week, and will be replaced by another, very beautiful tree,” Trump added. “The Historic wood from the tree will be preserved by the White House Staff, and may be used for other high and noble purposes!!!”

The tree’s seeds came from Jackson’s home in Tennessee and were planted at the White House in honor of Jackson’s wife Rachel, who died in 1828 — just before Jackson took office, per a report on Fox News
