1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 1: This specific weeping willow watched over swan boats and cast 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 1: shade over countless people over the past one hundred years. 3 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,760 Speaker 2: In a tour recently, and they talked about the trees. 4 00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:11,959 Speaker 2: It's very cool to see the history of them. 5 00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:15,160 Speaker 1: But with the new year comes new life. That's the plan, 6 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 1: as this willow is being removed in the near future 7 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,119 Speaker 1: because of its declining health and how it's become a 8 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:22,920 Speaker 1: public safety hazard. So no tears for the weaving willow. 9 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 3: Not really. I mean, if you look at him, they've 10 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,240 Speaker 3: been keeping these rolling for a long time. I grew 11 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 3: up in the city of Chicago and that worked trees. 12 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:31,800 Speaker 3: We didn't have a place like this. 13 00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:34,919 Speaker 4: So the fact that for a couple hundred years I've 14 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 4: been planning them, keeping them going and taking care of 15 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 4: them so they can last a heck of a lot longer, 16 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:41,560 Speaker 4: to me is it's a good story. 17 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 1: The tree will be replaced with another this coming spring 18 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:49,200 Speaker 1: at the garden.
