Some detail on the vandalism of The Separation Tree, and the bridge grafting undertaken by RBGM Horticultural and Arboricultural staff in association with tree assessment and advice from Terra ARK. These initial grafts were put in place in October 2011 during the second visit to the tree by Terra ARK, four saplings were also planted which it is hoped once established will enable inarching grafts above the injury site.
Given the extent of the injury to the stem and the predictable consequences of the vascular dysfunction for the structural integrity of the tree's canopy non-inteervention was not seen as the best management option.
