The Phantom Planter

 Me and wee Betty was out and about most of the day yesterday tending to phantom planted trees all around the estate. Newly planted fruit trees should always be checked over and watered in dry weather for the first year to get them established. We mulched and checked well over 100 first year fruit trees yesterday.  This is how I always visualised the future for me many years ago when I just started out phantom planting. That one day I would be spending my time going around tending to all the thousands of phantom planted trees.  Thoughts and visualisations are powerful. They are a major part of Tibetan Buddhist practice. Choose them wisely if you can.  Although in this crazy world force fed with fear everywhere we go its hard to choose what we think or visualise. Our minds are pretty warped with BS most of the time. And we all like to stick our noses into other peoples karma thinking we know best.  For me this world is all karma manifesting. Best we all try and k...

 Love this apple tree at The Phantom Planters HQ still surviving after a massive oak branch fell on it in the last storm we got. Nature never ceases to amaze me.  I challenge you to phantom plant a tree  Peace and love  The Phantom Planter and Wee Betty  Please support The Phantom Planters movement.  https://paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=FAJZHB3TBXMSL

 88 apple trees phantom planted in a field.  This is something I have always wanted to do is phantom plant an island orchard of trees. One thing always put me off over the years was its a gamble if they will survive like this.  88 bare root apple trees would also cost a minimum of a thousand pounds plus all the extras in planting them. This is not something I could have afforded to take a gamble with over the years. So I grew my own heritage Irish apple trees and took the risk to phantom plant them in an island orchard just like I've always wanted and so far the council grass cutters and locals have been respecting this mini orchard that has been phantom planted for nature and community.  I could have sold these trees and did something nice for myself but what would be nicer than watching a phantom planted orchard thrive in the hood.  In society fixated on greed and passing pleasures at the expense of nature and our souls. Phantom planting trees is life! It elev...

 This is the Irish yew tree at the centre of The Phantom Planters Oak spiral.  I was out the other day giving it a good water and a mulch and its looking amazing! I'm in the process of gathering loads of Mourne granite rock which I'm going to built a circled wall around the Irish yew. Going to make this a real feature that will last for many lifetimes. Yew trees live for thousands of years with some saying they are immortal.  I also have some amazing news to report on the iconic oak collection that line the spiral. All 34 ancestors of the most famous oak trees in the UK and Ireland are all coming to life. I have had a 100% success rate. This place really is history in the making.  This is probably the only collection of its type in the world preserving the linage and genetics of the oldest of most iconic oak trees on these islands.  Here is the list of all the oaks we have. I've got 3 more to gather in the coming years to bring it up to the magic number of 37....

 Just got news I've been nominated for this BBC award!! Onwards and upwards for the Phantom Planters movement.  Hope theres many trees phantom planted from this.

 Me and wee betty were working away yesterday watering and mulching lots of the trees at the Lisnabreeny Community Orchard. The place is all looking amazing. What a valuable asset this will be for the community and nature in the years ahead.  600 apple trees could easily produce a million apples a year when they are all fully matured in about 10 years time. Thats a lot of apples for jams, juices, ciders or what ever else the community want to be doing with them.  The land will be put into a Trust so that in the years ahead when we are all gone it will always be kept for the community and nature.  I need all the help I can get financially guys to get the Trust setup, its not cheap all these things and not cheap either maintaining the orchard and oak spiral.
