‘Flourishing’ Sycamore Gap Tree Has Ring of New Shoots Already 3-Feet Tall
Three years after the Sycamore Gap tree on Hadrian's Wall was felled, new shoots have grown thickly around its stump and are reaching two to three feet tall. The National Trust says protective measures such as reducing soil compaction and limiting disturbance are working, and saplings grown from the tree's seed have been shared with communities across the UK.
