@SW-User I hope someone plants a new one it it's place.

@Starcrossed I'm sure a new one will be planted. But of course it won't be the same and will take hundreds of years to grow.

@Starcrossed I've just read this from Tony Gates, Chief Exec of Northumberland National Park
It was decided there was no need for a memorial at the site itself, because shoots were spotted growing from the stump over the summer.
First there were eight spotted. Today there are about 25. What happens next is down to nature. No one knows whether a dominant shoot will grow into anything like what was there before.
We have absolutely no idea. It’s too early to call. Let’s just see what the tree gives us. Let us enjoy the fact it is still there.
