The National Trust’s Andrew Poad remains hopeful that the stump could be rescued
“It’s a very healthy tree. We can see that now because of the condition of the stump. It may well regrow a coppice from the stump and, if we could nature that, then that might be one of the best outcomes. Then we would keep the tree,” Mr Poad told BBC Breakfast.
North of Tyne mayor, Jamie Driscoll, said that the decision over what to do with the remains of the tree would ultimately lie with the National Trust. “I have heard suggestions that the wood from the tree could be used to make some kind of monument, he told Sky News. “Whether it is possible to take a cutting or a graft from the tree and replant it, that will take an arborist with more technical skill than I have to come up with these suggestions – but certainly we will be doing something.”
