Historic White House tree to be chopped down

The Jackson Magnolia that has flourished on the White House South Lawn since the 1800s is coming down. Brought by President Andrew Jackson from Tennessee, and said to be planted in memory of his wife Rachel who died not too long after his 1828 election, the tree is slated for removal later this week. According to CNN, First Lady Melania Trump made the call as the tree is reportedly too decayed to stay in place. Related: Via CNN Images via
