Revival of Felled Sycamore Gap Tree: Cuttings Display Growth

Salvaged seeds and cuttings from the felled Sycamore Gap tree are showing signs of growth, according to the National Trust. The organization is hopeful that over 30% of the mature seeds and half of the cuttings will be viable, allowing for the growth of new descendants from the tree in the future. The trunk of the original tree may also regrow, but it could take up to three years to determine if this is possible. The National Trust is still deciding on a tribute for the tree and will announce details on how local people and communities can get involved in the process in the new year.
