Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book documents the trees at Mount Vernon, George Washington's Virginia plantation. The author, Charles Sprague Sargent, conducted an extensive survey of trees on the property in 1917, measuring their size and assessing their condition. Sargent's survey aimed to establish a record of the trees planted by Washington and those that had grown naturally since his death in 1799. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the horticultural practices of Washington, an avid gardener and agriculturalist. Among the trees planted by Washington are tulip poplars, coffee beans, ash, basswood, and honey locusts. These trees, many of which are still standing today, reflect Washington's interest in native species and his desire to beautify his estate. Sargent's survey also sheds light on the botanical and ecological changes that have occurred at Mount Vernon over the past two centuries. He notes the disappearance of certain tree species and the emergence of new ones, reflecting the influence of environmental factors and human activity. This book offers a valuable historical record and a timeless appreciation of the natural beauty of Mount Vernon. It is a must-read for anyone interested in American history, horticulture, or the preservation of our nation's heritage.
