I must say I find this quite bizarre. It was awful that it was felled in that fashion - but the tree itself was nothing special - it's where it was and the framing of it in the gap and so on.

I have spent years of my life chopping down sycamore trees because they are a non-native, invasive species that support little or no wildlife and shades out our native trees with it's oversized leaves. To think that we're now propagating from it is just, well - odd.

People are sentimental. That's not bizarre, however sentiment often has no place for logic.

Not, of course, to prejudice the trial, but that is not the attire one would typically associate with innocent men...
Should have been wearing one of these as disguise really

BBC News - Sycamore Gap sapling gifted in memory of boy with cancer
Yep, saw this on the news and they have a load of saplings to put out there for good causes - I’m afraid it will be more bait for the w******s who spend their lives destroying the little things that matter to others.
