Wonder what the actual truth of the matter really is !!!!


Aghhhh !!!

One expert said he believed that it was unlikely the tree could be saved.

John Parker, chief executive officer at The Arboricultural Association, told Sky News: "Coppicing [where a tree is deliberately cut near to its base] is something used in the management of trees and is a traditional method.

"But with a tree that old and a cut that big, the shock will probably kill what is left of the tree.

"There is a chance you might get shoots at the bottom - but the tree will never be able to re-establish itself to the way it was before."

Mr Parker, who has worked with the association since 2008 and has a degree in arboriculture, described the tree's felling as "absolutely terrible to see".

However, Jon Stokes, from The Tree Council, said he remained hopeful.

"It is very difficult to know if it will survive for sure, as I haven't seen it in person, but it's worth having hope," he told Sky News.

"At this time of year, trees begin to store energy in their roots for next year's growing season - and it is possible that the tree may grow some new shoots next spring.

"If they do appear, they will then take many decades to grow into a new tree - but there may be a chance.

"We won't know for sure until next spring - and we will just need to keep our fingers firmly crossed."

Has to be more to the story - what teenager randomly has access to a chainsaw and can cleanly cut down a massive tree?

Although my sister in law did know a kid who got drunk and stole a horse... and rode it off through town in the middle of the night... despite having never been on a horse in his life. Mental.

[Cherie]

The former child actor who introduced film fans to the 300-year-old Sycamore Gap Tree in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves has spoken of his sadness that it's been chopped down in a wanton act of vandalism.

Daniel Newman was 15 when he played Wulf in Kevin Costner blockbuster, who sought refuge in the tree's boughs after being chased by the Sheriff of Nottingham's deerhounds.

It was the first glimpse of the tree in the 1991 classic and was the catalyst for it becoming a major tourist attraction for visitors who had previously come to see Hadrian's Wall.

Newman, now 47, runs a personal training company in Wimbledon and has left acting behind, but had fond memories of shooting in Northumberland.

Plant another one. Sycamore trees grow fast.

Someone has tried that, but the sapling has been removed (see here) (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tyne-66977582)

But National Trust officials said they had remove it because of the site's UNESCO World Heritage status.

the site is an ancient monument and "adding to it can damage the archaeology" and is "unlawful without prior consent from the government".

So according to UNESCO rules, there can never be a tree there ever again.

Meanwhile...

What I think was worse was how the Conservative Council leader at Plymouth Council ordered the felling of 110 trees under the cover of night for some grandiose regeneration project. This was whilst the decision on removing trees was going for judicial review. A pressure group had to get an emergency injunction to save at least 19 trees from the cull.

I don't remember a thread about that one on here, unless I have missed it

:::

Locals are outraged after a 1,000-year-old tree which dates back to the Battle of Hastings was mysteriously uprooted in a 'suspected felling' - just a week after Sycamore Gap Tree was cut down.

The 40ft yew tree stood in a privately owned field near Uckham Lane, Battle, a mile from Senlac Hill.

Speculation has mounted about how it had been toppled, with some suggesting the tree was deliberately cut down while others say it could have been knocked over by recent strong winds.
