  • A lovely walk along Hadrian's Wall passing the Sycamore Tree Gap, today a sad and solemn walk passing the tragically felled famous sycamore tree and laying some sunflowers on the stump.

    Tragic! Historic trees that have witnessed historic events and survived to be 100 years old or more, must be protected. If they fall due to illness, or a lightening strike, the remains must be used in a way that it honors the tree. Wood can be re-purposed into something else. It must be re-used as furniture, wooden plaques, gavels, etc. It must not be burned or turned into wood chips. Punish the person who did this, they are repugnant & sickening. Steep fines, and public scorn.

      I dont mean to sound dense. I'm a hopeless romantic. But since the tree was so young and healthy and the roots are still intact, would that warrant a chance for regrowth in the future? Or the tree is just dead dead?

      @@sharonmiller7213 The news of this vandalism is still coming out. The tree was 300 years old, and very healthy. It had meaning and was known about to all the people who live near it. It was a location people gathered under it, to celebrate the seasons. I don't know if anything can be salvaged. Though I read the community is going to replant some younger saplings. The vandal probably had no clue to the significance of that iconic tree. Maybe the vandal was some angry person, some uncaring person or someone with mental illness. Losing it was very sad, and nothing can fix the problem. Trees aren't super fast growers. I read they can grow as much as 10 feet in height per year,...but I don't know if that is verifiable.

    It's not dead, its root system is still alive and with a few decades that tree will be back.

      That particular species of tree is as old as the dinosaurs, extremely resilient. Now it isn't a 100% guarantee that it will grow back without issue, however the odds are so good if it was a financial bet I'd go all in. So long as no one else messes with it :P

    In my Area if you cut down trees that arent yours.... You have to replace with a tree of the same kind and same age/size, all costs of the tree shipping planting maybe even first years care etc.

    Its baffling how the tree end up were it did very very strange when a tree is cut down it falls next to the stump how did it end up were it did 4 to 5 meters away from the stump I no it was windy but no way it would be blown away from the stump or roll I would appreciate it if someone could exsplane this no one seems to be asking these questions very strange

    Silly question, can they not graft the tree back onto the trunk.

    • @Rearda
      @Rearda Год назад +4

      Theoretically, yes, but there's about a 99% risk of failure. Grafts are usually very small, very young growth not 200 year old trees.

    • @400KrispyKremes
      @400KrispyKremes Год назад +2

      The tree is a Sycamore. It can grow back by itself, but it will take like 20+ years minimum. It's a true shame that someone did this.

  • @pwallace5359

    It will regrow in a few years. In 2 years it will have 2 meter shoots reaching upwards. Don't give up hope. Sycamores survived mamoths leaning up on them.

    Somebody go plant 10 sapplings and in 10 years environmental equity restored.
    Where are the tears and outrage about the rain forrest destruction for palm olive oil in Malaysia, Bornea, Indonesis and the loss of orangutang habitat ? Get real people and see where the real fight is.

      People can have care and concern about more than one thing. People can also make videos about whatever they choose. Search or make your own videos about those things then instead of judging other people's interests, concerns and videos......

      @@dawnpettet5280 Scales and levels my friend. I'm sure locals are devastated to loose a local landmark and yes it's a disgrace and a traguc indictement on what ouf country has become. The environmental impact of this is almost zero, we have the daily fail with 6 headline stories about the loss of 1 tree while millions are being destrioyed each year in other parts of the world. Every loss is tragic to my way of thinking, especially as it was an act of vadalism......but think of the bigger picture !!!
