Historic trees at Capitol and White House withstand drought
The Adams Elm planted circa 1826 near the White House and an older Capitol elm survive drought despite age. White House gardener Irvin Williams and Capitol landscape architect Paul Pincus say extra watering helps, though natural rain remains best. The two sites guard about 2,000 trees including 120 species, with 40 White House trees linked to 13 presidents and 45 Capitol memorial trees authorized by Congress.
