Northumbria Police continue their investigation into the ‘senseless’ felling of the tree
A 16-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of criminal damage on Thursday in connection with the incident.A man in his 60s was arrested on Friday evening and has now also been released on bail.Detective Chief Inspector Rebecca Fenney-Menzies said: “The senseless destruction of what is undoubtedly a world-renowned landmark – and a local treasure – has quite rightly resulted in an outpouring of shock, horror and anger throughout the North East and further afield.
“If you’ve seen or heard anything suspicious that may be of interest to us – I’d implore you to contact us. The incident has been met with dismay and outrage among walkers’ groups on social media, and the National Trust said it was “shocked and saddened” to confirm the tree had been felled. Rob Ternent, head gardener at The Alnwick Garden in Northumberland, said the tree will start growing again but “won’t ever be the same shape or as good of a tree as it was”.He told PA: “It’s worth a try but I think livestock and wildlife will potentially damage it as well. It’ll be very difficult to get it back to the original tree.
A National Trust spokesperson said: “We’re very grateful for all the offers of support we’ve received – from people in the North East and much further afield. It is clear this tree was special to many, many people.
