Seeds from the iconic Sycamore Gap tree that was illegally felled in the UK last year are 'springing into life' at a specialist conservation centre in an effort to give the tree new life.
Experts who collected material and seeds from the felled Sycamore Gap tree last year have managed to have its seeds "springing into life".The National Trust said saplings wouldn't be ready to be planted out for at least another year.
Pictures released by the National Trust have revealed a collection of small seedlings and buds growing at the charity's Plant Conservation Centre, where staff have been carefully looking after the delicate items for the past five months.The famous tree, which had stood for nearly 200 years next to the Roman landmark Hadrian's Wall in northern England, was found lying on its side, cut near the base in September 2023.
"As well as being a fundamental part of our ecosystems, trees are an intrinsic part of our cultural heritage – a form of living history," said Andrew Jasper, director of gardens and parklands at the National Trust. The National Trust said its plans for the plants were still developing and that saplings wouldn't be ready to be planted out for at least another year."The response to the Sycamore Gap tree’s felling has been extraordinary, and we hope that by continuing to share its story, we can raise awareness of the cultural and natural significance of these majestic trees that we’re so lucky to have in the UK," Mr Jasper said.
