Sycamore Gap

The tree will be carted off somewhere and then be cut up,remember the incident at Plymouth?

Quite different, infoman

Is it dead? If not, it would regrow.

The stump, which could generate new shoots, will be left, and seeds have been collected which the National Trust said could be used to propagate saplings.

My neighbour has a row of self-seeded sycamores on the boundary between us, which grow like weeds. Nothing seems to discourage them. Every year the are cut down to about 4ft, then by September they’re at least 10 ft high again, multi-trunked, and all the leaves are covered in mildew.

On the other hand, there are some huge, very old and healthy, sycamores around here in places where they have sufficient space to be their majestic selves, like the one by Hadrian’s Wall.

Has anyone read why the police are taking no further action against the people responsible?

The police are taking no further action against those who were questioned who are NOT responsible eg teenager and 60 yr old man.

I believe one of the 30 yr old's is still being investigated.
