“it should be clear by now to everyone that activist environmentalism
(or environmental activism) is becoming a general ideology about humans,
about their freedom, about the relationship between the individual and
the state, and about the manipulation of people under the guise of a
'noble' idea. It is not an honest pursuit of 'sustainable development,'
a matter of elementary environmental protection, or a search for
rational mechanisms designed to achieve a healthy environment. Yet
things do occur that make you shake your head and remind yourself that
you live neither in Joseph Stalin’s Communist era, nor in the Orwellian
utopia of 1984.”

I've seen them described as 'tree weeds'! Bearing in mind that in
Autumn, sycamores shed seeds like confetti which readily germinate,
it's surprising that there aren't a lot more of them all around.

The 'experts' say the stump might send up several shoots, much as in
pollarding, but the tree that resulted would never look the same, and
it would take centuries to get anywhere near the same size or visual
impact of the original, which was apparently 300 years old.

That gap must be a very exposed site and the wind must roar through
there on stormy days, but I see someone has already planted another
sycamore nearby, about 2 metres tall and protected with a tree-sleeve
to keep rabbits and deer from nibbling it.

I wonder what drove the misguided tree-feller to fell it.

Computer says no (ChatGPT)

Moi:- can a sawn down tree be grafted together again?

ChatGPT
It is not possible to graft together two pieces of a sawn-down tree to
restore it to its original state. Grafting is a horticultural technique
used to join two living plant parts, typically stems or branches, in
order to create a new plant with desirable traits. Grafting relies on
the cambium layer, a thin layer of actively dividing cells just beneath
the bark, to facilitate the fusion of the two plant parts.

When a tree is sawn down, the cambium layer is typically destroyed, and
the tree loses its ability to transport water and nutrients between the
roots and the upper part of the tree. Once this happens, it is not
possible to graft the tree back together because the essential living
tissue needed for grafting has been removed or severely damaged.

However, if you have two separate pieces of a living tree that you want
to graft together, it is possible to use grafting techniques to join
them and create a new union, assuming that the cambium layers of both
pieces are healthy and compatible. This is commonly done in horticulture
and agriculture for purposes such as propagating fruit trees or
improving the health of a damaged tree.

In summary, while you cannot graft together two pieces of a sawn-down
tree to restore it, you can use grafting techniques on living tree parts
if the necessary conditions are met.

Perhaps some sort of vacuum cuff around the join, assuming an airtight
fit is possible and its possible to rejoin the parts with structural
integrity, as I suppose it gets pretty windy in that area.
Then perhaps a controlled vaccum would draw sap from the ground and
remove the air gap above the break, perhaps with some donor sap from
another tree and monitoring the bubbly noises if successful.

I suppose if they'd been quick enough, a skilled plantsman could have
taken small pieces from the tree canopy even though it was sawn down,
e.g. twigs trimmed appropriately, and grafted them into the stump, as
per the diagram below.

Probably a disgruntled tenant farmer on National Trust land. Probably being

If he wasn’t being evicted before, he will be now!

Probably upset by people trampling over his crops and leaving gates open to

I doubt it’s arable land. All sheep up there! It’s got to have been more
than an annoyance with trippers though as cutting down a protected tree in
a national park (or at least National Trust land) will have him out on his
ear (and possible imprisoned).

It seems to have been a farmer and an ex-lumberjack with a grudge against
the National Trust. Like I said, some sort of right wing anti
environmentalist nutjob.

change alarmists don't give a fuck about the environment.

Environmentalist is only a virtue signalling label.
