Amazing moment seeds from Sycamore Gap tree sprout up in battle for preservation. The tree was felled in the middle of the night in September. The footage taken at the National Trust centre shows the tree sprouting up for the first time.
King Charles has been presented with the first seedling to be grown from the Sycamore Gap tree by the National Trust to mark Celebration Day.
The Sycamore Gap tree was possibly the UK's most recognisable trunk until it was suddenly cut down overnight in September 2023. After being chopped down, the remnants of the tree were eventually cleared away and seeds collected, from which these new plants have been grown. 'Part of the power of trees to move and console us lies in the continuity and hope they represent: the sense that, rooted in the past and flourishing in the present, their seeds will be carried into an as yet unimaginable future.'Although brutalised, the stump of the tree remains living and tree experts hope it will one day regrow to its former glory.
Mobile phone triangulation could, it is thought, feature in any prosecution but it is unclear to what extent, if any, DNA from the tree will play a part. His co-defendant Adam Carruthers, 31, entered no pleas to the same charges when they both appeared before a district judge at Newcastle Magistrates Court.
