Storm topples 166-year-old tree in UK days before planned removal
- • Storm Boelo uprooted a 166-year-old copper beech tree in Bristol's Victoria Square, UK.
- Bristol City Council had ordered its removal days earlier because a fungal infection had weakened its roots.
- Residents had campaigned to save the historic tree since 2017, but inspections showed its condition was worsening.
- The fallen tree damaged a nearby wall and pathway, but no injuries were reported. Officials may plant a replacement.
