Two men will appear in court today charged with the destruction of the famous Sycamore Gap tree.
Daniel Graham, 38, and Adam Carruthers, 31, will face Newcastle Magistrates' Court on Wednesday afternoon.
Both men face charges of criminal damage to the tree and to the neighbouring Hadrian's Wall, which stood next to each other in Northumberland for 200 years.
Northumbria Police said the men were arrested in October in connection with the incident and had been on bail since that date.
The much photographed tree, which features in the 1991 film Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves starring Kevin Costner and Morgan Freeman, was chopped down in the dead of night in September last year, causing a national outrage.
