What will happen is they will try to re-erect the tree and apply
natural looking polyfilla to all the cracks and then do a fine pencil
brushing in of any wood colour that shows thro. Also as a spring type
feature they will stick green leaves to it. Ditto the autumn. They
will pour millions of pounds into it.

Just to give the illusion that the tree is alive and cared for.

A bit like a listed a building.

Then in approx 10 years they will pass the hat round for donations to
save the tree again, because too many branches are falling off it.

The wise move would be to have knocked it down in the first place.
