Photo of the famous stumpy tree in black and white in Washington DC in march at the tidal basin. Stumpy is a cherry blossom tree that refuses to die in spite of saltwater damage caused by global warming. The park service plans to cut stumpy down along with other damaged trees and use the wood to make fertilizer for new cherry blossom trees. Stumpy is a symbol of resilience and renewal.
