Once the seedling has matured into a sapling, it will be planted in Windsor Great Park for visitors to enjoy.
The tree, which stood next to Hadrian’s Wall in Northumberland for 200 years, was chopped down in September last year
Once the seedling has matured into a sapling, Charles will have it planted in Windsor Great Park for visitors to enjoy as a symbol of the hope and beauty that can come from loss, the National Trust said on Monday. The conservation charity encouraged members of the public to donate and plant a tree in memory of a loved one or as a gift, creating new habitats for wildlife.
“The new tree will be seen by many thousands each year and will be the first of many Sycamore Gap saplings planted at different places, in Northumberland and beyond.“The swell of emotion we saw after the sycamore was felled goes to show how personally connected we all are to our natural heritage. Andy Jasper, director of gardens and parklands at the National Trust, said: “It was quite overwhelming and incredibly humbling to see the public’s reaction to the very first seedling to successfully germinate and grow at our special plant conservation centre, on display at the Chelsea Flower Show last week.
