The tradition of rolling the two oak trees at Toomer's Corner following an Auburn victory will return this fall for the first time since it was halted in 2013.

Auburn University announced this week that plans to allow fans to roll the two

will not be pushed back following

Auburn officials temporarily halted the rolling tradition in 2013 as a result of the original oaks being poisoned in 2011. The university attempted to save the trees, but had to remove them once it was determined they would not survive.

"We appreciate everyone's patience during the past few years," said Ron Booth, executive director of facility operations. "This is a return to one of the greatest traditions in college athletics."

University officials are welcoming "gentle" rolling of the two oaks as the trees continue to get established in the soil. Fans are asked not to cross the fences encompassing the trees and to not climb on the trees.

"We are still conscious of making sure the trees stay healthy," said Gary Keever, Auburn University horticulture professor. "We also have water systems in place below the trees and even water pipes to the top that we need to protect. The toilet paper will be removed by hand after each rolling."

In addition, fans should not roll any other trees in Samford Park, including the 10 smaller oak trees lining the walkway from Toomer's Corner to Samford Hall. Those trees, descendants of the original oaks, were planted in the spring and are not fully established.

"This is a tremendous day for the Auburn Family and for all sports fans across the country who love the fall and football," said Booth.
