Cardiff cherry tree saplings snapped in half by vandals

Cherry trees planted in a park to celebrate the friendship between Japan and Wales have been snapped in half by vandals.

A total of 100 trees were planted at Heath Park, Cardiff, as part of the The Sakura Cherry Tree Project.

Keith Dunn, the honorary consul for Japan in Wales, said the vandalism was "sickening", adding "the devastation they've caused is just horrendous".

Cardiff Council said the 20 damaged saplings would be replaced.
