Davie
Poplar (1792)
Tradition
says that William R. Davie staked claim to the University at the
Davie Poplar. A second tree, named Davie Poplar Jr., was planted
in 1918. In 1996, a hurricane caused severe damage to Davie Poplar,
so it was filled with cement and held up by cables so it will
never fall down.
