One person threatened to chop it down as he thought that it was dangerous, but a petition was drawn up by the locals on both sides of the border and a couple of thousand signatures were collected and thus this historic tree was given a reprieve. It actually looks quite healthy to me and the man who raised the issue ironically is no longer with us See close-up of plaque here Image]
