The tree in the movie Shawshank Redemption, starring Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins, sadly fell down due to extremely high winds.
Jodie Snavely, of the Mansfield and Richland County Convention and Visitors Bureau said the tree had previously split but survived during a lightning strike in 2011 but the strong winds were the final nail in the coffin for the 200 year-old tree.

The tree sits on private property but fans could view it as part of a series of places in north-central Ohio related to the film.
Snavely said they weren’t entirely sure what would happen to the tree now but she added; ‘The tree symbolises hope to its visitors. When they can actually come and see that, it’s very touching to them, and it means a lot to them.’
