Including Stumpy, and will be able to make genetic replicas of Stumpy and other trees they remove. I feel bad when any trees are cut down. I read that there are about 3200 trees in the park, so, a small percentage are getting cut down. I guess it makes me feel better to know that the trees will be genetically reproduced, and replacements will be blooming by 2027.
