What does tree insurance actually cover? It can’t be replacement as a large tree isn’t replaceable. So what does monetary compensation cover other than perhaps disposal after for example a storm felling it, or something?
Maybe it's what the insurance company will charge for getting it repaired at one of their partner garages?But I see your point - the sycamore gap tree is gone. No amount of money will bring it back, and a new tree costs what a new tree costs irrespective of which tree it's replacing.
But do enlighten us as to what tree insurance actually covers.

How much is the timber worth ? I'd like to see a nice shed, built with itm
Sycamore isn’t an awful lot of use for stuff , it’s considered a weed by many tree surgeons and normally is of low value . We cut one down in my garden that was twice that size I was told by some builders that there is a company near Denham to remove mature valuable trees from building developments and you can buy them and just have them delivered

Sycamore not really a timber suitable for sheds but still useful for making violins, cellos and if you're feeling ambitious, a double base.
A sycamore chopping board is a nice thing and the wood is said to have antibacterial properties, so perfect for food preparation.
Imperative though, that you end rear your sycamore to avoid stick marks.

Sycamore is actually a really nice finishing timber and a very good alternative to imported maple. In a past life we used it in a very grand hotel refurbishment instead of maple. Client loved it as it was UK sourced and cheaper, looked great. I come across a lot of sites coppicing sycamore and an awful lot is being grown for the firewood market. With so many UK trees getting hit with various pest and diseases a lot of people are coming round to sycamore.
We burn it but find it’s not great since it burns quickly and doesn’t produce a lot of heat loughran said:

I know it might be a bit soon… but surely national heritage have the tree and wood look to raise funds from using it for souvenirs? A sycamore chopping board is a nice thing and the wood is said to have antibacterial properties, so perfect for food preparation.

Quite freaky that a guy nearby had a motive (and seemed the sort) and it wasn't him.
You mean a man evicted from his house by its charity landlords (who were not the National Trust) suddenly had motive to chop down a tree down 8 miles away?liner33 said:

Lucky they weren't sent to this Oriental supermarket where "thief hats" are not permitted. Although I'm unclear whether that applies only to customers or to chainsaw-wielding miscreants, who presumably don't count as customers.https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-ne...

22 Reg are a poor shadow of themselves. That balcony picture isn't going to garner the same iconic status as the last one. https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-ne...
