Auburn officials aren’t sure when fans will be able to roll Toomer’s Corner again.
Auburn horticulture professor Gary Keever held a brief press conference Tuesday at the corner of College Street and Magnolia Avenue to discuss the process of replacing the trees for the second time in as many years.
When the original oak trees were replaced in Feb. 2015, the university banned the tradition of rolling Toomer’s Corner with toilet paper indefinitely while the new trees “established themselves.” The practice made a comeback for the 2016 season, but was disrupted for the tree on Magnolia Avenue after Jochen Wiest lit it on fire in September.
