Magnolia sapling planted by Obama in Israel uprooted for test
Middle East
The magnolia tree planted by President Barack Obama during his visit to Israel will be uprooted and tested for pests.
On Wednesday, Obama planted a magnolia tree at Israeli President Shimon Perez’s residence.
Under the Israeli laws, any tree saplings or other plants brought into Israel undergo a routine quarantine inspection.
After the test, which may take weeks, the magnolia tree will be returned to Perez’s garden.
