Trump's border wall threatens a 200-year-old cottonwood tree in Arizona

About 22 miles south of Patagonia, Arizona, stands a cottonwood tree estimated to be at least 200 years old, known locally as the "grandmother tree." The tree is already showing signs of stress and is imperilled by the construction of Trump's border wall along the US-Mexico border. Local residents are concerned about the fate of the regional landmark.
