Revival of Felled Sycamore Gap Tree: Cuttings Display Growth

Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Guardian

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.

"Experts optimistic about regrowth of England's iconic Sycamore Gap tree after cutting incident"

Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Washington Post

The famous Sycamore Gap tree in northern England, known for its appearance in the film "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves," was recently cut down by a vandal. However, experts believe the tree is still alive and will likely regrow, although it may take decades or even centuries. The tree holds sentimental value for many people, who have scattered ashes and made proposals there. A man attempted to replant a sapling at the site, but it was removed due to legal restrictions. The National Trust plans to protect the remaining stump and see if it regrows, as sycamores have the ability to grow new stems after an injury.
