But Hexham MP Guy Opperman said while discussions were ongoing, it was not straightforward as the location is a UNESCO world heritage site.
“In the short term, the National Trust have secured the site and saved seeds,” the Conservative MP revealed.
Mr Opperman said he had met with the director general of the National Trust and Lord Parkinson, the government’s culture and heritage minister, about the tree, which was planted in the late 1800s.
“There is ongoing discussion as to the future of the site and a mechanism for the public to add to the hundreds who have already made suggestions of what we do next,” Mr Opperman added.
The National Trust continues to advise that people keep away from the site, which was made famous in the 1991 Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves movie.
Meanwhile, tributes have been left in memory of the tree in a dedicated room at The Sill: National Landscape Discovery Centre in Northumberland.
