Experts aim to keep it in 'as large sections as possible' but it is too big to move in one piece.
The Sycamore Gap tree is to be cut up and moved by crane two weeks after it was chopped down.The National Trust said "every option" had been explored for moving the tree, which is about 150 years old and close to Hadrian's Wall in Northumberland.
"We've explored every option for moving the tree and while it isn't possible to lift it in one go, as the tree is multi-stemmed with a large crown, we have aimed to keep the trunk in as large sections as possible, to give us flexibility on what the tree becomes in future. "It's clear that this tree captured the imaginations of so many people who visited, and that it held a special - and often poignant - place in many people's hearts," Mr Poad said.It hopes to involve the public over the coming weeks "to find the best way" of paying tribute to it.
