Sycamore Gap tree was a beloved site along the ancient Hadrian ’s Wall in northern England .

It took less than three minutes to cut it down in an “act of deliberate and mindless criminal damage” Trial of two men charged with cutting it down gets underway in Newcastle Crown Court .

Daniel Graham , 39 , and Adam Carruthers , 32 , have pleaded not guilty to two counts of criminal damage.

A wedge of wood that was cut from the tree to drop it in the proper direction was taken from the scene as a “trophy” and never recovered.

Graham ridiculed the man’s comment, asking if he realized how heavy stuff is, though he used an expletive in place of “stuff” Carruthers replied that he’d like to see the man “launch an operation like we did last night ”.
