A familiar scene played out Saturday morning at the corner of Magnolia Avenue and College Street.
Landscapers gathered to remove the famed oak trees at Toomer’s Corner and replace them with new ones for the second time in three years.
The tree on Magnolia Avenue, which was set on fire by Jochen Wiest during the football season, has been replaced three times.
Workers from Southern Scape and Twelve Oaks Landscaping started removing the Magnolia Avenue tree at 7 a.m. Both new trees were in place by 2 p.m., within the six-hour timeframe the university previously announced.
