Neighbours accused him of destroying the countryside when he turned a field into an 'illegal builder's yard' and put a static caravan in it.
When his bid to be allowed to stay there failed, locals said he was so angry it provided the motive to chop down the tree in September 2023.
He and Adam Carruthers, 32, face years in jail at Newcastle crown court after being convicted of causing over £600,000 damage to the tree and Hadrian's Wall.
Trial judge Mrs Justice Lambert warned them after the verdict in May that they face "a lengthy period in custody".
And in just three months Graham, 39, will be left without a home to go to when he is finally released.
His last plea to the planning inspectorate to be allowed to live in his caravan near Carlisle, Cumbria, was rejected in April.
He was given six months to find other accommodation but by then he was already on remand ahead of his trial and will also be inside when the time runs out.
A Cumberland Council spokesperson said: 'A decision was taken to uphold the council's enforcement notice.
"We are now bound by the conditions from the Planning Inspectorate.
Graham and Carruthers used a chainsaw to fell the tree in September 2023 in an act of 'mindless vandalism', their trial heard.
Felled Sycamore Gap tree removed from Hadrian's Wall
The men have since fallen out and blamed each other but the jury convicted them both.

Over a third of women working in aviation have been sexually assaulted in workplace, survey finds
Over a third of women in the aviation sector have suffered work-related sexual assault, a new survey has found. The landmark study conducted by Unite the union polled its 30,000 female members in the aviation sector on whether they had experienced sexual harassment while at work, travelling to work, or from a colleague, either in or out of work hours. The results revealed that 34 per cent of women cabin crew, front-of-desk staff and baggage handlers have been sexually assaulted at work. In addition, 11 per cent of women polled said they had been a victim of sexual coercion in the workplace – when a person pressures, tricks, threatens, or manipulates someone into engaging in sexual activity without genuine consent. The survey, which forms part of Unite's Zero Tolerance to Sexual Harassment campaign, found that 67 per cent had experienced unwanted flirting, gesturing or sexual remarks, 65 per cent had been the recipient of sexually offensive jokes, 55 per cent had been inappropriately touched and over four in 10 (40 per cent) had been shared or shown pornographic images by a manager, colleague or third party such as a passenger. Of those who reported being sexual harassed at work, the majority said it was not a one-off occasion, with almost half (47 per cent) experiencing it more than twice, while a third (34 per cent) experienced it more than once. Many respondents said they didn't report harassment they had experienced or witnessed as they worried they wouldn't be believed or it would put their job at risk, while others felt it was not taken seriously when they did raise it. Over three quarters (76 per cent) said the issue was not addressed or tackled by management. 'I experienced sexual harassment from passengers and management never do anything about it,' said one woman. 'They say passengers come and go and there is a small chance you will see them again.' Another said: 'Management laughed off my experience where a crew member with a known history of sexual assault touched me inappropriately. They protected him, not me.' Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: 'Staff safety should be among the highest priorities for employers in the civil air transport industry but the results of our survey are damning and show women workers are being failed by bosses. 'Nobody should suffer sexual harassment in the workplace. Unite is committed to taking a zero-tolerance approach and we will put every employer turning a blind eye on notice. 'We will fight every step of the way to stamp out workplace harassment once and for all. Every worker deserves a safe working environment and should feel able to report harassment.'

MoD warns lawyers it will ‘fight them hard' on Afghan leak compensation
The Ministry of Defence has warned law firms suing for compensation for the Afghan leak victims that it will 'fight them hard'. At least two practices have vowed to take legal action against the Government on behalf of hundreds who claim they were affected by the most damaging data breach in British history. The 2022 leak of details of 18,800 Afghans, along with about 6,000 of their family members, was revealed on Tuesday after a super-injunction was lifted by the High Court. Hundreds of Afghans say the leak by a Royal Marine risked their lives. Compensation cases could cost taxpayers nearly £1bn, with two legal firms saying they are representing clients. However, a spokesman for the MoD said: 'We will do everything possible to defend against any compensation claims. 'We have taken appropriate action in line with the level of risk these individuals faced. Any claims we do get, we will fight them hard.' It is not clear what the MoD's defence would be, and the ministry would not elaborate on this. The breach occurred in February 2022, when the Marine emailed a group of Afghans, accidentally including a spreadsheet naming nearly 25,000 Afghans applying for asylum on the basis they had worked with the British Army, as well as identifying their family members. Law firms are approaching clients to sue the MoD, including Barings Law, based in Manchester, which is acting on behalf of at least 1,000 Afghans who claim they were affected. It was reported the firm sent messages on WhatsApp groups urging Afghans to sign up to the legal case on the expectation they would be given large sums of money, without being able to explain the grounds without breaching the super-injunction. It hopes to claim £50,000 from the MoD for each individual involved in the breach. If all 18,800 soldiers make a successful claim, the compensation bill could be as high as £940m. That sum could grow if any of the Afghan soldiers' family members join the legal claim, taking it towards £1 billion in total. Adnan Malik, head of data protection at Barings Law, said: 'This is an incredibly serious data breach, which the MoD has repeatedly tried to hide from the British public. 'It involved the loss of personal and identifying information about Afghan nationals who have helped British forces to defeat terrorism and support security and stability in the region. 'Through its careless handling of such sensitive information, the MoD has put multiple lives at risk, damaged its own reputation, and put the success of future operations in jeopardy by eroding trust in its data security measures.' Second firm involved The Telegraph can reveal that a second law firm, Leigh Day, is acting for potential clients. A spokesman said the firm had been contacted by clients who had been told by the MoD that their details were part of the data breach. Others approached Leigh Day via its website after reading about its work. Sean Humber, a data breach lawyer, said: 'We are acting for clients affected by the data breach who remain in Afghanistan and others who are now in the UK. 'The priority must be ensuring the safety of those affected by the data breach who remain in Afghanistan. 'The level of compensation is likely to be in the thousands, although the exact amount is likely to vary and will probably be higher for those remaining in Afghanistan compared to those that have successfully relocated to the UK.' The firm said it could not say how many clients it had or how much compensation they were seeking. The leak came to light in 2023, when an anonymous Facebook user posted extracts of the data on the social media site. MoD officials contacted Meta, the company that owns Facebook, and the posts were deleted within three days. However, the Government decided it had no choice but to offer asylum to the Afghans affected because the leak had left them at risk of reprisals from the Taliban. The breach has only just come to public attention after an unprecedented super-injunction was lifted by the High Court. The MoD's combative approach to compensation is a marked contrast to the Tory government's stance over a previous 'BCC incident' in 2021. Then, the MoD mistakenly exposed the personal information of 277 Afghan nationals, some of whom had worked for the British government and were in hiding from the Taliban. A mass email was sent to those, such as interpreters, who could be targeted by the Taliban and were eligible to be relocated. Their emails were added to the 'To' field instead of the 'blind carbon copy' section, meaning their names could be seen by all recipients. The Tory government agreed to set up a taxpayer-funded compensation scheme, which Labour agreed to honour with an offer of up to £4,000 for each of the victims. But they will not do the same for the latest data breach, which is on a much larger scale and could have put 100,000 lives at risk.

'Reckless' driver who caused deaths of mother and daughter on Boxing Day jailed
A driver who caused the deaths of a mother and daughter on Boxing Day while racing another car through traffic lights at more than 80mph has been jailed. Amanda Riley, 49, and 72-year-old Linda Philips died in 2023 after a collision involving Mohammed Ibrahim's BMW 420 in Shard End, Birmingham. Ibrahim, 25, fled the scene after his car - travelling "in convoy" with a BMW X3 in a 30mph zone - crashed into a quad bike while overtaking, and then hit an MG car containing four generations of the same family. Ms Riley and Ms Philips died at the scene, while four other family members travelling in the MG suffered injuries, including a fractured sternum, a broken leg requiring surgery and bruising to the lungs. Birmingham Crown Court heard Ibrahim was racing the other BMW through traffic lights at up to 84mph in a 30mph zone. The driver of the BMW X3 has never been traced, the court heard. Prosecutor Philip Vollans said: "Both cars were speeding, both cars racing each other. "The defendant was the faster driver of the two." The driver's seat of the MG was knocked out of its fixings and it caught fire, leaving its occupants trapped, the court heard. Ibrahim had previously pleaded guilty to two counts of causing death by dangerous driving and three counts of causing serious injury by dangerous driving in Birmingham Crown Court in May. He was jailed on Wednesday for 13 years and three months. Judge Paul Farrer KC also imposed a driving ban on Ibrahim of 18 years and nine months and said the defendant's speed and driving were "grossly irresponsible". The judge said Ibrahim had failed to remain at the scene in circumstances where he must have known he had caused a "catastrophic" accident. Three relatives of the victims, including the driver of the car they were in, read victim impact statements to the court. One described the mother and daughter as having "died fighting for their lives, lying on a cold roadside, scared and in tremendous pain". Senior Crown Prosecutor Neelam Shafiq said that Ibrahim's "reckless actions resulted in the untimely deaths of a much-loved mother and daughter and have caused unimaginable pain for their family".
