They can’t graft the tree back onto the stump? I know it’d be a lot of work, but wouldn’t it be worth it for a tree that iconic? Even if it probably wouldn’t work, wouldn’t it be worth a try?
Edit: why am I being downvoted for being hopeful that it can be fixed?
Unfortunately it won’t take. But… it is possible to transplant very large mature trees if you have enough money to do it so I really hope they give it a go.
