Additional commentary.
1. Tree Plaques
After violence occurred during a protest against the planned removal of a statue of Robert E. Lee in Charlottesville, Arlington County officials in early 2018 removed the plaque from the bicentennial memorial stone that commemorates the Confederate soldiers that served on Upton Hill. See: Arlington Now Article
Arlington County's list of notable trees designates as being historically significant the commemorative red oak tree that the plaque had identified. No marker presently identifies the tree. See: Notable Tree List
