Not sure why you are being down voted. You are asking for knowledge. Others have provided decent answers though. Again not sure why you are being down voted.

Well, I assume some people understood me as asking "It's just a tree, why the bother?". I tried to get around this with wording, but whatever.

I kinda guess this is largely a "local" thing (not sure how large "local" is though). And of course it's a pity that an angry teen destroyed a hundreds of years old tree.
