Had to get rid of all the evidence after chopping down that tree..

I am quite sure someone else did the canning.

Sure his slaves/servants would have done the canning.

Those would be a good source at auction for funds for mantaining historic properties so they won't have to charge admission, or not much.

Wait till they find Washington's old stash of axes!

He did cherish his cherries

40 million dollar rehab. Tell me this isn’t corruption. 40 million dollars.

So not only did Washington chop down the cherry tree, he greedily hoarded its fruit for himself.
