Summary
| Description |
English: The official replacement for the "Arlington Oak" at the grave site of President John F. Kennedy in Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington County, Virginia, in the United States.
The low granite wall which forms the rear of the elliptical plaza at the Kennedy grave site can be seen in the background. The 220-year-old "Arlington Oak", which stood off-center within the Kennedy memorial gravesite area, was uprooted and killed on August 27, 2011, during Hurricane Irene. The gravesite was closed to the public for two days to remove the tree and stump, but reopened on August 30. On Arbor Day, April 27, 2012, a sapling grown from an acorn of the Arlington Oak was planted at the same site. It was tied with a yellow ribbon to indicate that it was the "official" replacement Arlington Oak. Two other Arlington Oak saplings were planted nearby, while a fourth was planted in Section 26 near the Old Amphitheater and a fifth in Section 36 near Custis Walk. |
