The tree is probably already more than 100 years old. Transplanting the tree is much more likely to shorten its lifespan than leaving it in situ. Todd, please see the update to the post. The news is not good. Brian, not sure about the Deaflympics plan. Feiren, thanks! roentarre, camphor trees can live for hundreds of years. The tree is probably already more than 100 years old.

Brian, not sure about the Deaflympics plan.

Feiren, thanks!

Actually, I'm sad they removed all the graffiti that covered the construction barriers. You are very fortunate to have gotten in. When they were tearing down the old residences behind the factory I was allowed in to take some photos of the location, but only after they had kicked out all the "homeless" people living there. I've tried to get in a couple times since but not been allowed. Anyway, isn't this location part of the 2009 Deaf Olympics construction? Another place I pass every day.

Especially with London Plain trees. Sometimes, the trees do get removed for reasons that they are unlikely to survive more than 20 years of lifespan. Especially with London Plain trees.
