A Petrol or Pre-Charged chain saw
was used

[Could the Sycamore Gap Tree come back to life?
Experts say Britain's most famous tree could
be saved but warn it will take decades
to regrow - as boy, 16, arrested over
felling is released on bail

Britain's most famous tree had stood
in a dip along Hadrian's Wall for 300 years
It was felled on Wednesday night with a
chainsaw in 'deliberate act of vandalis]

Think people need to relax a bit :joker:

Baying for a 16yr olds blood.

It’s a tree. Plant another one, or two, or ten, they’re trees

Those pics are difficult to look at. I get a bit queasy at the sight of sap.

a tree with historical monumental value though


this is a crime, sentence him for between 10 and 15 years forced community service and a few months in jail

It is the sort of thing that angers people because it's such a pointless act of destruction. It's not just any old tree either, it is quite an iconic one

I'm just mystified by the fact that he went to so much bother to do it, cutting down a tree takes a fair bit of effort, it's dangerous too if you're not doing it regularly

Yeah I was surprised it was a 16 year old because that looks like a pretty professional job which could go very wrong

I saw a comment that it is the 2023 equivalent of the Blue Peter garden getting vandalised.

Criminal Vandal boy, 16 Arrested for Cutting down the 200 year old,Famous Tree
 
Given its historical importance…

Maybe they should do some heavy duty ‘grafting ‘ ??

It’s just a case of upscaling well used techniques
