He'll not get much in the way of punishment, as he's 16.

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."

Not a hope in hell you could cut a tree that big down with a knife, especially that cleanly
