This makes me so sad.
A unique, irreplaceable piece of British heritage, destroyed by vandals.
Could be applied to many things.

The Nortumbria Police arrest for this seems to have kicked the Staffordshire Police into some form of action! They have also made 2 arrests today and the ages of those arrested would fit with the identified Company Directors of the "Private Developer" that Marstons sold the land to.
New arrests in Crooked House pub inquiry
Two arrests are made as part of the inquiry into the pub, hit by fire before being demolished.

I accidentally came across a famous tree once in Snowdonia, called the Lonely Tree Llanberis. I suppose that's tree's significance is the same as this one.

Sycamore Gap: Boy, 16, arrested after Hadrian's Wall tree felled
The Sycamore Gap tree was cut down overnight in what police believe was an act of vandalism.

Police have arrested a 16 year old, be shocked if he did this alone.

I think coerced is the word you're looking for
Probably a GD regular.
Disgusting act.
BUT
I'm sure that can be reattached. Would need scafolding for a number of years. But we had a hybrid tree in our old house where one tree had been added to the trunk of another... Although it wasn't as low as that on the trunk so Physics and all that

arbicide should be a crime, punished by a lifetime planting trees.
they should not call it cutting down or felling a tree, it is murder of a living thing.

Does this include the Governments destruction of trees/Woodlands in favour of Housing Estates and the HS2?

This should be classed as an act of Treeson if you ask me.

Governments get away with murder, nothing new there.

scallies gonna scally. it's a tough one because I would love the book thrown at him, but given the police won't even come out and visit criminal damage usually (in my case we knew who did it , the police admitted they knew who did it and they left textbook fingerprints on my car )
to be honest this is the totally predictable other shoe falling of teenagers under 18 knowing they can do almost what they want with no consequences wrt vandalism.
personally I would give him at least 100 hrs community service and do the same for all petty vandalism. short term it may cost some money but long term I think it would pay for itself as it would be a proper deterrent.
