Toomer's Oaks to be removed from Auburn campus
AUBURN (AP) — Officials at Auburn University have announced the Toomer's Oaks will be removed from campus.
University officials made the announcement today and said in a release that the trees are unlikely to survive despite efforts to save them after they were poisoned with a powerful herbicide.
Harvey Updyke Jr., the man accused of poisoning the trees, is set to go to trial April 8. University officials say a new landscaping plan will be unveiled and the school will host a block party at Toomer's Corner April 20 to give fans a final opportunity to gather near the landmarks before they're removed. That weekend is when Auburn will hold its A-Day game.
The school plans to construct alternate structures students and fans can gather around following big wins and other special occasions.

Harvey Updike ought to swing for what he did. He has disgraced our state to no end. And I am a die hard Bama fan.
Lee, I agree with you, but let's face it if the trees can't survive a season with as little use as they got last yesr, they sre not going to make it.
Ha ha ha ha! Thanks for the laugh Morgan County!
