Sycamore Gap: 'Special' tree being cut up and moved
By Duncan LeatherdaleBBC News, at the scene
The " Special " and " poignant" Sycamore Gap tree is to be Cut Up and moved by crane, Two Weeks after it was felled.
People are being urged to stay away from The Tree , which is about 150 years old and stood close to Hadrian's Wall in Northumberland.
Workers using chainsaws have removed its branches and a crane is being moved into position to hoist it away.
Experts are aiming to keep the trunk in " as large sections as possible" to give them " flexibility" on its future.
They previously decided it was Too Big to move in One Piece .
The Public has also been reassured that The Tree 's stump has been protected.
The 50ft tree (15m), which was made famous in the 1991 film Robin Hood : Prince of Thieves, will be taken to an unnamed National Trust property where it will be " safely stored".
Part of Hadrian's Wall was also damaged when The Tree came down, sometime between the evening of 27 September and morning of 28 September.
" It's currently in a precarious position resting on The Wall , so it's necessary we Move It now, both to preserve the world-famous monument that is Hadrian's Wall, and to make The Site safe again for visitors, " said Andrew Poad, General Manager of The Site .
" We've explored every option for moving The Tree , and while it isn't possible to lift it in one go - as The Tree is multi-stemmed with a large Crown - we have aimed to keep the trunk in as large sections as possible, to give us flexibility on what The Tree becomes in future.
" We're encouraging people to stay away from The Site while these complex and difficult operations take place.
" It's clear that this tree captured The Imaginations of so many people who visited, and that it held a Special - and often poignant - place in many people's hearts. "
The Tree , which was seen as a symbol of Northumberland, and was a popular site for photographers and walkers due to its location in a dramatic dip in The Land , was planted by a previous landowner in the late 1800s.
A Northumbria Police investigation continues and a 16-year-old boy and A Man aged in his 60s arrested on suspicion of Criminal Damage remain on bail.
