A gnarled Washington cherry tree affectionately named Stumpy is being torn down after it spent the last few years as a social media phenomenon. For visitors and cherry blossom enthusiasts, the annual tradition of a stroll on the Tidal Basin under the flowers is a core Washington experience and that includes Stumpy. This year's cherry blossom festivities in Washington will be the last for Stumpy and more than 100 other cherry trees that will be cut down as part of a multiyear restoration of their Tidal Basin home.
