Description

A dying oak tree where the first US president, George Washington, picnicked during the American Revolution was cut down on Monday, April 24.

The 600-year-old tree in Basking Ridge, New Jersey, would not withstand upcoming “harsh winters or spring storms,” said arborists, reported NBC New York</a>.

It will take several days to remove the tree, but its 18-foot-wide stump will remain, local media</a>. reported.
