"The crabapple trees have not been permanently removed from the White House. The 10 trees will be replanted elsewhere on the grounds after they are cared for offsite, per the Associated Press and C-SPAN."

I can imagine how deep and extensive those 50+ year-old Crabapple roots must've been and what shock they were subjected to. We'll see if they reappeared anywhere; it's doubtful, at least to me, that they'll be the same trees.

Hopefully, under Jill Biden's supervision, they will be back in that rose garden.
