sapling

As part of this Trees of Hope initiative, Henshaw Church of England Primary School in Hexham, which is closest to the Sycamore Gap, and all 15 UK national parks will receive a sapling.

A Sycamore Gap sapling seemed a fitting tribute as it was the trip planned, but never taken.

Now, Fergus' community in Backwell, near Bristol, will be one of the first to be gifted a sapling grown from it.

Ten years ago, after leaving teaching to start a landscaping business, Oh had planted a banana sapling a friend had given him at a community farm he helped run in north Seoul.

The friend who had given him the banana sapling had told him it was a Cavendish, the tropical variety most commonly eaten today.
