Historians “optimistic” that Darnley Sycamore will survive

Saqib Ahmed, the Greater Pollok councillor for Scottish Labour, said that Glasgow City Council will do “everything possible” to “save and preserve” the tree.

Specialist council officers will perform an inspection later in the week.

The Woodland Trust, who have seen images of the damage, said that they “believe the tree could live on”, although it may not look as impressive as it did before.

The community will also hold talks about what will happen to the fallen bits of tree.

Current suggestions include the branches being turned into benches for local parks or donated for use in community projects.

There are also plans for cuttings to be taken from the tree, which can be replanted elsewhere.

Mr McDonald said that, regardless of the result of the inspection, “there is a plan in place to ensure that the tree will live on in a different form”.
