The landmark at Sycamore Gap, beside Hadrian's Wall in Northumberland, was felled overnight on Wednesday., where new shoots grow from the base of a trunk.Mr Poad said: "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 nurture that then that might be one of the best outcomes, and then we keep the tree.
