Anne Frank's chestnut tree gets the chop

Thursday 08 March 2007

The famous chestnut tree mentioned in Anne Frank’s diary is to be cut down. Amsterdam council said on Thursday it has no option but to agree to the felling of the 27 tonne tree which is diseased and could be dangerous if it falls.

The tree, which is officially listed, is situated in the enclosed courtyard between Prinsengracht and Keizersgracht.
