Poisoned oaks, slain sycamores: who’s behind Britain’s tree murders?
In affluent areas across the UK, unknown assassins are striking. Their weapons? Herbicides and hatchets. Their victims? Once mighty trees. We join the plant detectives on their trail.
Whitecliff Park is the scene of two shocking double murders. Most recently, during the night of 15 February, an attack left two dead on Turks Lane, along the southeastern edge of the park. Six months earlier, two much-loved elderly residents - fine, upstanding pillars of the community - were poisoned to death on Whitecliff Road.
It could have been worse: the victims could have been people. They are - were - trees: two sycamores and a pair of English oaks.

On December 2, 2021, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province, the Zhongshan Scenic Area of ‚Ä‚ÄNanjing in the early winter season is full of forests, colorful and picturesque. From the air, the yellowed sycamore leaves on the cemetery road are like a string of Meiling Palace. "Golden Necklace" is so beautiful, ushering in the most beautiful viewing moment of the year.
Viewed from the air through a drone, rows of platanus trees form a collar. The Meiling Palace in Xuanwu District of Nanjing is like a gem inlaid at the end of the necklace, quietly nestling at the foot of the Purple Mountain. There are folk rumors that the Meiling Palace was a "birthday gift" from Chiang Kai-shek to Soong Meiling. Netizens called this "the world's best necklace" as Jiang Gong's romantic confession to his beloved wife. It is understood that the trees forming the "necklace" on the cemetery road were not planted in the same period.
According to records, the earliest construction budget of Meiling Palace was 260,000 silver dollars, but in the end it actually spent 320,000 silver dollars. The money was first advanced by the Army, Navy and Air Force Command, and later the Nanjing Municipal Finance Bureau also contributed part of the advance. The financial pit left by Meiling Palace for the two departments was finally filled by Chiang Kai-shek with the reimbursement of the total reserve fund of the state finance.
Due to disrepair, Meiling Palace started repairs in December 2012 and was completed in September 2013. The rows of fatons are layered on top of each other, and the shape is like a necklace, which is very spectacular. Netizens called it "the most awesome necklace in the world." These necklace-shaped platanus trees were not planted at the same time. The Fatong that forms the "collar" on the cemetery avenue was planted during the construction of the Zhongshan Cemetery from 1925 to 1929, and the Fatong that formed a "pendant" ..

Sycamore Gap tree removed from Hadrian's Wall to be seasoned and reused
As National Trust draws line under criminal act, members of public suggest future uses for timber.
Some saw the day as a chance to say farewell. One person described the event as a "full stop" to the saga. But as the criminally felled, world-famous Sycamore Gap tree was carefully removed from its home on Hadrian's Wall, people also spoke of hope, optimism and rebirth.
A crane from Manchester arrived on Thursday morning for the challenging job of removing the tree.
Throughout Thursday, a team worked with chainsaws to cut the tree into manageable sections that could be transported to a truck.
The Sycamore Gap tree was regarded by many as an integral part of north-east England. Its felling two weeks ago prompted an outpouring of distress, mixed with fury at the pointlessness of the vandalism.

Sycamore Gap: man, 60, arrested in connection with felled tree
The tree, next to Hadrian's Wall, was cut down overnight between Wednesday and Thursday in what detectives have called a "deliberate act of vandalism".
It was made famous in a key scene in Kevin Costner's 1991 film Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves and was among the UKÕs most photographed trees.
A 16-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of criminal damage on Thursday in connection with the incident and has since been released on bail.
Northumbria police said the man in his 60s was arrested on Friday evening and he remains in police custody assisting officers with inquiries.
