It seems that stretch of the Potomac doesn't get much if any salt. It's way up there and flows rather well, typically.
The tidal influence ends effectively at chain bridge, but they don't call it the Tidal Basin for nothing, presumably.
Not to say salt couldn't happen if there is a sustained drought + more sea level rise + a strong wind from the SE (Yes, that's a big influence on the tidal fluctuation in the Chesapeake!)
Fun fact, sakura trees typically live to 20-40yo, and the DC Japanese Grove is more than 150yo now. They must be well cared for, or something else is going on.
What's a 'gang stalking type'?
