I once read about a nursery in Florida where you could buy seedlings of trees from famous Americans, but I think it was damaged fairly seriously during a storm some years back. How wonderful to have this memento of a favorite American hero on the capitol grounds.
where is this? Is the tree still there? more info please.
Yes, this tree is located on the SE lawn of the Mississippi (New) Capitol grounds in Jackson, Mississippi.
