The famous tree next to Hadrians wall has been cut down. It's know as the Robin Hood tree as it was in the film with Kevin Costner.

Covered in the random irritations thread. A 16 year old has been lifted for it.

Truly disgusting. What is it with folk that think they can vandalise historic monuments. Do they want there 15 minutes of infamy.
If there is any positive, experts think the tree is healthy and may sprout again.

The tree is indeed 'healthy' (poor word, but it's good enough) - and it's a sycamore, so it will indeed sprout new shoots from the stump that's left behind. But it will still be a generation before there's anything of note, or anything that's approximate to the landscape feature it used to be. The lad may well have been angry about something, but he's still a git!

A 16 yo? That knew how to handle a chainsaw to chop a massive tree down. Clean though ?

In the middle of farming country, no big deal for those chiels

If it was an oak tree, it would be different. But it’s a sycamore tree, the scourge of suburban UK.

I suspect the locals have the tar and feathers all ready.

Maybe just get the forum a week’s worth of sabbatical and we all have a say.
Whats the point of cutting down a tree. It reminds me of the Simpson’s episode where Bart cut off the head of the Jebediah Springfield statue to impress the bullies who then turned on him. There is nothing in it for anyone.

Absolutely not, way too quick. Bury the bugger upto his neck and let passers by give him a jolly good telling off

Do sycamores make good stocks?

They’d certainly be solid. Sycamore makes even Oak seem like a soft(ish) wood.
