In February 2021, the selection of oak trees to replace the flèche and roof timbers destroyed by the fire began. A thousand mature trees were chosen from the forests of France, each of a diameter of {{convert|50|to|90|cm|in}} and a height of {{convert|8|to|14|m|ft}}, and an age of several hundred years. Once cut, the trees had to dry for 12 to 18 months. The trees were to be replaced by new plantings.<ref>{{cite news |title = A la recherche des chênes pour reconstruire la flêche de Notre-Dame |work = Le Figaro |date = 16 February 2021 |language=fr}}</ref> Two years after the fire, a news report stated that: "there is still a hole on top of the church.
