Sycamore Gap stump shows ring of shoots three years on from felling

The National Trust has shared images of new shoots growing around the stump of the Sycamore Gap tree three years after it was illegally felled. The shoots are two to three feet tall, and the charity said fencing, reduced soil compaction and limited human disturbance were helping the stump recover. Saplings have also been grown from seeds found at the site.
